Visit Sainte Geneviève

09/01/2026

Three of only five known surviving poteaux-en-terre houses in North America still stand in Sainte Geneviève, Missouri.

This French colonial building method used vertical wooden posts set directly into the earth, a form of construction once common in the Mississippi River Valley and now extraordinarily rare. Sainte Geneviève’s surviving examples are the Bauvais-Amoureux House, Bequette-Ribault House and Vital St. Gemme Beauvais House.

Together, they are part of what gives Sainte Geneviève the greatest concentration of surviving French colonial vertical-log architecture in North America.
