The best snowball stand in all of Terrebone Parish. Many different flavors and a small local business that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. I won't get a snowball anywhere besides Fran's Snowballs in Houma La

I absolutely love this little snowball stand! There are so many unique flavors here! My favorites are Harry Potter Butter Beer (tastes very similar to Universal Studios) and the Jurassic World. I can't wait to be back! Cash only!

Frans has the absolute best snowballs around hands down! There is NO competition or comparison. If you can think it she can make it. She has hundreds of flavors and combinations. My boys are so spoiled by her and loyal to her. Her customer service is an absolute pleasure unlike the other snowball place. She's not mean to her employees nor does she make them cry unlike some snowball places I know Frans has been around for years and will continue to be the best. Bring cash though.

Best snowballs in Houma, period. They have over 70 traditional flavors and over 150 special flavors. Fran's is the closest thing that I've found to the iconic Hansen's or Plum St. Snowballs in New Orleans. This is a cash only business, so be sure to have some on hand.

I’m visiting from ATL and I want to go back to Fran’s as many times as I can before I leave!!! She has so many crazy flavor options I want to try and she was so sweet. I got the Alien Juice and my boyfriend got Ice Cream Cream and they are so delicious. 10/10 flavors

Mrs. Lisa has the best snowballs in town. Every time me and my husband goes she is always very sweet & kind. The prices are very cheap. Mrs. Lisa makes all different kinds of snowballs with a bunch of different flavors and many different designs. I will always recommend Frans to everyone!
