Experience The French Quarter With A Local Expert
As you walk along the banquettes of this historic neighborhood, you notice that the French Quarter still keeps much of its “neighborhood” feel. Neighbors greeting neighbors, corner stores selling po boys and “hot plate” lunches, as locals head to and from their destinations. The French Quarter is a true, living neighborhood and not a state park, and she still keeps some of that feeling. Churches and schools share the block with homes and businesses as life in the Quarter still hums along as much as she has for the last 300 years.
The European feel of the French Quarter is because of the building codes implemented in the 1790s and is one of the primary draws to New Orleans. The French Quarter was the first place immigrants entering the city via the port would disembark. From there, the immigrants would migrate to other neighborhoods, but they left their mark on the buildings they left behind. Your French Quarter tour goes beyond basic architecture and oversimplified history of the city. Your tour will dive deep into the lives of the people who built, lived, and died in the French Quarter.
