This was the street we usually walked each day to go to/from FQ. Better than eastern end of Bourbon, one street away, interesting houses, etc to look at. More

When I went, the streets were blocked off. Lots of street performers playing music and doing different tricks. Relatively quieter and less hectic than Bourbon St. More

Royal St is lovely, especially if you want to experience the French Quarter yet avoid the madness on Bourbon Street. Take the time to look into every window, as many shops and galleries are tucked away with miniscule signage and can easily be missed. More

Royal Street in the French Quarter is known for its antique shops, and the most sumptuous I've ever been in has to be MS. Rau Antiques, 630 Royal Street. Have you ever seen a $750,000 pool table? Well, Mr. Vose, Executive Vice Pres of Sales, showed us one that had just arrived from Buckingham Palace! We sort of reeled from... More

This street is so beautiful, and such a huge difference from Bourbon street which is just one block away. It's lined with antique shops, small cafes and beautiful buildings with balconies on either side. It's mostly closed to cars so it's nice to walk down on and it's less hectic and crazy than Bourbon Street. More

Fannie, AG, and IAGMI were on their vacation of love. We walked up and down Royal Street a few times and went into some shops. Some shops were better then others and some were prcied higher then others for the same thang. You have to be a bargain hunter like IAGMI, oh i likes to do some shopping and walking... More
