À quoi s'attendre
1
Washington Artillery Park
We begin the tour in the most scenic spot in the French Quarter, as you hear about the river and bed of mud out city rests on, the early Chitimacha tribe that settled the area, and the rather odd French colonists who founded New Orleans in 1718.
2
Mississippi River
We'll see the mighty Mississippi from our tour start.
3
Jackson Square
Then we'll take a look around Jackson Square and we'll tell you about the statue of Andrew Jackson -- the only statue in the city to be erected out of spite! During the French colonial period, it was a place of bizarre punishments.
4
Pontalba Buildings
We'll see the Pontalba Buildings, and hear the story of the Baroness Pontalba, from the wealthiest family New Orleans has ever seen, Spanish nobles who paid for the construction of all the buildings in Jackson Square. Her bizarre story is a real-life psychological thriller.
5
French Quarter
There are plenty of mini-stops along the way where we'll share all the knowledge we've learned in our years of tour guiding. This city is SO interesting and you will leave with an exciting and amazing understanding of The Big Easy!
6
St. Louis Cathedral
Our next stop is at our most iconic landmark, the St Louis Cathedral. It's a spectacular sight, and has some really interesting history, from pirate prisons to dueling grounds! Along the way we will talk about Pirate's Alley, and if it's open we will take a quick peek inside of the Cathedral. It's the oldest in the country!
7
Louis Armstrong Park
We'll begin with a stroll through the beautiful Louis Armstrong Park, the birthplace of Jazz music! We'll talk NOLA history and how this amazing city began and share some juicy stories before heading into the heart of the French Quarter.
8
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar
We'll stop between this historic bar and a nearby coffee shop. Built in the 1780s, this popular dead-end-of-Bourbon St. bar was once a business front for smugglers and pirates. These pirates also enlisted to fight the war of 1812. To this day, men who re-enact the battle come to drink afterwards. In the 1960s, "Cafe Lafitte" was a popular gay bar, frequented by Tennessee Williams.
9
Parc d'artillerie de Washington
Nous commençons la visite dans l'endroit le plus pittoresque du quartier français, alors que vous entendez parler de la rivière et du lit de boue sur lequel repose la ville, de la première tribu Chitimacha qui s'est installée dans la région et des colons français plutôt étranges qui ont fondé la Nouvelle-Orléans en 1718. .
10
Fleuve Mississippi
Nous verrons le puissant Mississippi dès le début de notre tournée.
11
Place Jackson
Ensuite, nous visiterons Jackson Square et nous vous parlerons de la statue d'Andrew Jackson, la seule statue de la ville à avoir été érigée par dépit ! Pendant la période coloniale française, c'était un lieu de punitions bizarres.
12
Bâtiments de Pontalba
Nous verrons les bâtiments de Pontalba et entendrons l'histoire de la baronne Pontalba, de la famille la plus riche que la Nouvelle-Orléans ait jamais vue, des nobles espagnols qui ont payé pour la construction de tous les bâtiments de Jackson Square. Son histoire bizarre est un thriller psychologique réel.
13
quartier français
Il y a beaucoup de mini-arrêts le long du chemin où nous partagerons toutes les connaissances que nous avons acquises au cours de nos années de guidage. Cette ville est tellement intéressante et vous repartirez avec une compréhension passionnante et étonnante de The Big Easy !
14
Cathédrale Saint-Louis
Notre prochain arrêt est à notre monument le plus emblématique, la cathédrale Saint-Louis. C'est un spectacle spectaculaire et son histoire est vraiment intéressante, des prisons de pirates aux terrains de duel ! En chemin, nous parlerons de Pirate's Alley et, si elle est ouverte, nous jetterons un coup d'œil rapide à l'intérieur de la cathédrale. C'est la plus ancienne du pays !
15
Parc Louis-Armstrong
Nous commencerons par une promenade dans le magnifique parc Louis Armstrong, berceau de la musique jazz ! Nous parlerons de l'histoire de NOLA et de la façon dont cette ville étonnante a commencé et partagerons des histoires juteuses avant de nous diriger vers le cœur du quartier français.
16
Bar de la forge de Lafitte
Nous nous arrêterons entre ce bar historique et un café voisin. Construit dans les années 1780, ce bar populaire de l'impasse de la rue Bourbon était autrefois une façade commerciale pour les contrebandiers et les pirates. Ces pirates se sont également enrôlés pour combattre la guerre de 1812. Aujourd'hui encore, les hommes qui reconstituent la bataille viennent boire après. Dans les années 1960, "Cafe Lafitte" était un bar gay populaire, fréquenté par Tennessee Williams.
