Thanks for the review! We love the Garden District and the Lafayette Cemetery and love sharing its stories. The neighborhood is beautiful, but its beauty is entirely different from the bustling French Quarter, and there's a fascinating cemetery to boot! Thank you for including us in your new Orleans vacation.
