We're not told a lot about the setting in "Desiree's Baby" but through the language used and the details we are given, there are some assumptions that can be made. Based on the author's biography and the french terms that are used throughout the story, it's easy to assume this story takes place somewhere in Louisiana, and Chopin had spent a good amount of time there and its the part of America where French would commonly be spoken. And it can be assumed that because Armand is a slave owner, this story takes place before the civil war. And that's all I have.
