A place travelers can visit French Quarter

Reviews: French Quarter

General description: French Quarter

Experience the oldest and most famous neighborhood in New Orleans. Although it is now adapted to its tourists, there are still local residents living here.

Mule drawn carriages provide a great opportunity to be driven around the Quarter since the gasoline rationing in 1940’s. The streets are alive with performing street entertainers demonstrating their talent to the new visitors.

Or if you are more the walking type, there’s plenty of labeled landmarks which you can explore for yourself around the city. The Jean Lafitte National Park offera free walking tour of the French Quarter which is very informative, allowing you to immerse yourself in the fascinating history of New Orleans. Or have the chance to wander around some of the elegant old home, now HouseMuseums, capturing a glimpse of the old décor and architecture, as well as the particular furniture choice.

French quarter dining is where you can experience favorites like crawfish, jambalaya and seafood gumbo. There are many restaurants, depending on what types of food you are looking for.
