Les femmes mal comportées qui ont fait la tournée de la Nouvelle-Orléans

Aperçu
Hear 300 years of history of vice and red light districts in New Orleans, and all that's not fit for print!

» Small groups: 15 guest max

» Suggested cocktails

» Fun extras: historical images, a take-home Polaroid of the group, and more!

France shipped women from the brothels and prisons to the colonies in the 1720s, sending them to Ursulines nuns for 'correction'. Instead, many hung their red lanterns out back of town, and created a thriving red light district.

In the same location, a century later, madams decked in diamonds reigned in 'palaces of sin'. Some were so rich and powerful they committed murder and got off scot free!

Hear the jaw-dropping history of New Orleans you'll never forget!

À quoi s'attendre
1
French Market
We'll see the French Market -- once Gallatin St., the most dangerous street in the country, in the late 1800s. You might find a dance hall brothel where the whole floor descended into an orgy, or be garroted and robbed of all your possessions openly. It was a place police rarely went, except with 30 or 40 men.
2
Old Ursuline Convent Museum
See the convent of the Ursulines nuns, the oldest building in the French Quarter (construction began 1727), and hear how the church and King Louis XV became sex traffickers to force more women to the colony, and had the nuns keep these "correction girls" in line with nude public lashings. But the girls were the ones with the problem?
3
Golden Lantern
Often on our route we make it to the Golden Lantern, and discuss the history of Southern Decadence at its home bar -- a working class gay bar in the French Quarter.
4
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar
Often we stop by this oldest building housing a bar in North America, and discuss its history as a smuggling front. Although not one of our historic cocktail spots, we often take a break here and cool down in the heat.
5
Marie Laveau House of Voodoo
Actually we won't see this shop on the tour, we'll go to the real Marie Laveau's birthplace, and discuss... "Wait, she doesn't belong on this tour! She's a voudou leader not a... " High class madam? Find out where she made most of her real money!
6
Louis Armstrong Park
The decadent palaces thrown up in Storyville on Basin St. were replaced by the Iberville Projects. So we take you to the gorgeous Louis Armstrong Park that overlooks what once was Storyville, with enough seating and shade for guests to sit and view photos of this historic time period, see and hear about its wildest characters.
7
May Baily's Place
May Baily's became the first legal brothel in New Orleans when the owner paid a license fee in 1857 -- still mounted on the wall! [closed temporarily]

Marché français
Nous verrons le marché français - autrefois Gallatin St., la rue la plus dangereuse du pays, à la fin des années 1800. Vous pourriez trouver un bordel de salle de danse où tout l'étage est descendu dans une orgie, ou être garrotté et dépouillé de tous vos biens ouvertement. C'était un endroit où la police se rendait rarement, sauf avec 30 ou 40 hommes.
16
Musée de l'ancien couvent des Ursulines
Visitez le couvent des religieuses Ursulines, le plus ancien bâtiment du quartier français (la construction a commencé en 1727), et découvrez comment l'église et le roi Louis XV sont devenus des trafiquants sexuels pour forcer plus de femmes à la colonie, et ont fait garder ces "filles de correction" par les religieuses " en accord avec les flagellations publiques nues. Mais les filles étaient celles qui avaient le problème ?
17
Lanterne dorée
Souvent, sur notre route, nous nous rendons à la Golden Lantern et discutons de l'histoire de Southern Decadence dans son bar à domicile - un bar gay de la classe ouvrière dans le quartier français.
18
Bar de la forge de Lafitte
Souvent, nous nous arrêtons devant ce plus ancien bâtiment abritant un bar en Amérique du Nord et discutons de son histoire en tant que front de contrebande. Bien que ce ne soit pas l'un de nos bars à cocktails historiques, nous faisons souvent une pause ici et nous nous rafraîchissons dans la chaleur.
19
Marie Laveau Maison du vaudou
En fait, nous ne verrons pas cette boutique pendant la tournée, nous irons à la vraie maison natale de Marie Laveau, et discuterons... "Attendez, elle n'a pas sa place sur cette tournée ! C'est une chef vaudou pas une... " Madame de grande classe ? Découvrez où elle a gagné le plus de son argent réel !
20
Parc Louis-Armstrong
Les palais décadents construits à Storyville sur la rue Basin ont été remplacés par les projets Iberville. Nous vous emmenons donc dans le magnifique parc Louis Armstrong qui surplombe ce qui était autrefois Storyville, avec suffisamment de sièges et d'ombre pour que les invités puissent s'asseoir et voir des photos de cette période historique, voir et entendre parler de ses personnages les plus fous.
21
Chez May Baily
May Baily's est devenu le premier bordel légal de la Nouvelle-Orléans lorsque le propriétaire a payé une redevance en 1857 - toujours accroché au mur ! [fermé temporairement]

Tracy was a lot of fun as a tour guide. She has a lot of knowledge about the city as a whole and was able to add another tidbits of information or history along the way. The tour is at a nice pace so you don’t feel rushed.

Got into NOLA @ 11 and booked this for 2. Best way to start the trip! Highly recommend! Wonderful knowledge of history from the female perspective! Guide was funny and engaging. By the end we were able to navigate the quarter fairly easily and had a good idea of what we wanted to do/experience in the coming days.

Spectacular tour full of many details. This tour was one of the most engaging and enjoyable tours we’ve ever taken. The stories were detailed and exciting. Our guide had numerous supplementary images to supplement and place into context the stories of these remarkable and powerful women. Our stops were well planned. Overall, I can’t say enough about this well thought out tour.
