Nothing speaks to history in Louisiana like the French Quarter!
For over 200 years, the French Quarter has been the center of New Orleans. Just walking through the area takes you back to a time steeped in mystery and legend. From Marie Laveau, the Queen of Voodoo, to the home of the renowned Mardi Gras events, there is so much to see and do that just one visit might not be enough.
If you’re seeking a good spook while in town, there are numerous walking tours that take you through some of the French Quarter’s most haunted places. From above-ground tombs to secret passages to old southern mansions, you can get up close and personal with the supernatural in New Orleans.
Music lovers will be thrilled to find that some of history’s greatest musicians were produced in the French Quarter. The birthplace of jazz, the French Quarter has brought forth many recognized musicians, including Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band and more, and still continues to stream in talented performers that really know how to get the bars and clubs of New Orleans a-swingin’!
The French Quarter is also home to the country’s biggest street party – Mardi Gras! Mardi Gras translates to “Fat Tuesday” in French, which refers to the tradition of eating rich, fatty foods before the ritual of fasting during the Catholic Lenten season. Highlighted by costume balls, lavish parties and much more, this famous event has become the place to be during the Carnival Season.
