A great place to visit in the heart of New Orleans . The French have presented a gilded statue of Jeanne d'Arc to New Orleans that is situated at the entrance to the French quarter. The locals have christened it "Joany on the Pony"- marvellous God bless America. the quarter is full of interesting bars , cafes, restaurants and shops... More

Well, I've seen it. It was on our Bucket List. The architecture is interesting; the restaurants are good; street music good. The pay-handlers are a definite drawback and, according to our hotel concierge, there isn't much that can be done about it. Maybe if I were 30 yrs. younger and like to drink a lot, I would've enjoyed it more.... More

Loved walking the streets and going to the restaurants and the shops, loved seeing the artists on the street and the singers and impersonators there. it all was very nice. Had a good trip!

Similar to Las Vegas but without the casinos. You can walk around with drinks anywhere. Lots of different bars, music and people.

The first time I went was during the day, and I'm glad I did. I LOVE American history and the French Quarter is riddled with it! The buildings, the architecture, the streets... This area has stayed true to history for over a century. When you arrive on Bourbon Street you can (if you have an imagination) see how it would've... More

The architecture and history are amazing. We took 2 walking tours. One was a ghost tour which turned out to be more of a history tour but I liked it. The other was of St Louis Cemetery #1. The street performers remind me of those you see in San Francisco or Key West. Lots to see and do in the... More

A world unto itself. Folks drinking everywhere (out of plastic cups, which restaurants will supply if you haven't finished. People throwing beads from balconies. A couple of women exposing themselves. And it wasn't even Mardi Gras. Lots of restaurants, bars, jazz, etc. Some historic sights, including cathedral, Jackson Square, museum, Brad Pitt's house.

Well you must it see to believe it. Everyone needs to see it at least once in there lifetime.You are never sure what you think you saw was really what you saw or is this really unreal and to my surprise the bands,people both tourists and residents are just friendly and funny. Take a ride on the bike boys taxi.... More

Bourbon Street is like a mini-Vegas - anything goes! Streets a little further out have intriguing private residences that are narrow-looking, but I think go WAYY back and some appear to have an inner courtyard. Established in 1717 I think. Pretty fantastic. Great architecture. Battle of the music! One side will be traditional live jazz bands, and across the street... More
