À quoi s'attendre
1
Museum of the Free People of Color
The Museum of the Free People of Color preserves the three hundred-year history and culture of free people of color in New Orleans. The museum explores their history beginning in 1708. The front gallery chronicles the first 100 years, including the period under Spanish rule, 1763 to 1800, when slaves were sometimes allowed to purchase their freedom. One of the most moving exhibits includes a floor-to-ceiling petition to President Abraham Lincoln, dated Jan. 5, 1864, from 1,000 free men of color who were New Orleans property owners.
2
Garden District
The Garden District has a collection of well preserved historic mansions that were built by wealthy newcomers to New Orleans. The area was developed between 1832 and 1900 and has a diverse mix of homes, antique shops, bars, cafes, gardens, parks and restaurants.
3
St. Louis Cemetery No. 3
St. Louis Cemetery #3 is also known as The Angel Cemetery is located on ground that once was home to a leper colony. Louisiana has long hosted communities for the victims of leprosy and this cemetery began as a burial ground for those who died of the disease in New Orleans. Decades later, in 1854, a particularly devastating yellow fever epidemic left the city more in need of 8,000 burial plots so the priests at St. Louis Cathedral purchased the land for another sorely needed Catholic cemetery.

Musée du peuple libre de couleur
Le Museum of the Free People of Color préserve l'histoire et la culture de trois cents ans des personnes libres de couleur à la Nouvelle-Orléans. Le musée explore leur histoire à partir de 1708. La galerie avant relate les 100 premières années, y compris la période sous la domination espagnole, de 1763 à 1800, lorsque les esclaves étaient parfois autorisés à acheter leur liberté. L'une des expositions les plus émouvantes comprend une pétition du sol au plafond adressée au président Abraham Lincoln, datée du 5 janvier 1864, émanant de 1 000 hommes de couleur libres propriétaires de la Nouvelle-Orléans.
11
Quartier des jardins
Le Garden District possède une collection de manoirs historiques bien conservés qui ont été construits par de riches nouveaux arrivants à la Nouvelle-Orléans. La zone a été développée entre 1832 et 1900 et comprend un mélange diversifié de maisons, de magasins d'antiquités, de bars, de cafés, de jardins, de parcs et de restaurants.
12
Cimetière Saint-Louis n° 3
Le cimetière Saint-Louis n ° 3, également connu sous le nom de cimetière des anges, est situé sur un terrain qui abritait autrefois une colonie de lépreux. La Louisiane a longtemps accueilli des communautés pour les victimes de la lèpre et ce cimetière a commencé comme un lieu de sépulture pour ceux qui sont morts de la maladie à la Nouvelle-Orléans. Des décennies plus tard, en 1854, une épidémie de fièvre jaune particulièrement dévastatrice a laissé la ville dans le besoin de 8 000 terrains funéraires. Les prêtres de la cathédrale Saint-Louis ont donc acheté le terrain pour un autre cimetière catholique dont on avait cruellement besoin.

This tour is just perfect for walkers, cyclists or even motorists. The stops are beautiful and engaging. I especially loved hearing about the Free People of Color in New Orleans as well as the less well known tales of the Luling Mansion.

GREAT tour of a beautiful and historic NO. neighborhood The narrator is a native and folds in personal references that authenticate the tour--unlike many other tour guides. I also like that I can stop it and dwell on the beauty of an old home or historic site before moving on just by operating my phone...certainly better than following a person in a group pf 10-12 when much is missed. Cannot beat it for 5 bucks, and you'll go away appreciating the city much more.

We are locals and this is one of our favorite spots in the city - but to really dive in and intently walk the streets of the Esplanade Ridge was absolutely incredible! We learned so very much and at our own pace could really digest the intricacies and fascinating history of the area. We loved the small details, folklore and stories that really brought the area alive for us. You could imagine the residents in each house sipping a cognac and telling tales in the parlor ! We celebrated at the incomparable Cafe Degas and we simply cannot recall a more pleasant Saturday afternoon! The rich history is brought to life in a way that few other venues can offer. This is a must do!!!
