Prywatna piesza wycieczka po cmentarzu Metairie w Nowym Orleanie: milionerzy i mauzolea

Przegląd
Metairie Cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is frequently listed as one of the must-see cemeteries in the world. While walking beneath the shade of almost a 1,000 trees, you'll see the extravagant tombs of Popeyes’ founder Al Copeland, Ruth’s Chris Steak House founder Ruth Fertel, and vampire-novelist Anne Rice. You'll see the pyramid guarded by a sphinx, the Islamic-inspired tomb that a Confederate general built for his daughter, the grave of the gunned-down gambler who never smiled, the Storyville madam who was ousted from her tomb, and the famous weeping angel bathed in blue. Your guide Sally Asher is passionate about revealing the unusual, outrageous and untold stories of New Orleans. An award-winning writer and professional photographer, Asher believes history isn’t about merely listing dates and facts, but the gentle collision of truth and narrative – scandals and all! This tour is approximately 2 miles long and takes 2 hours.

Lake Lawn Metairie
Cmentarz Metairie (w rzeczywistości znajdujący się w Nowym Orleanie) jest domem dla jednych z najbardziej wyszukanych i artystycznych marmurowych grobowców i sztuki nagrobnej w mieście. Ten dawny tor wyścigowy jest wpisany do Krajowego Rejestru Miejsc Historycznych i często zaliczany do najlepszych cmentarzy na świecie. Na cmentarzu Metairie mieszkają wszyscy, od polityków, przez muzyków jazzowych, madame ze Storyville, szefów mafii, potentatów smażonych kurczaków, po powieściopisarzy-wampirów, a wszystko to na 127-hektarowej sielankowej scenerii otoczonej lśniącymi piramidami, greckimi świątyniami, islamskimi pawilonami i płaczącymi psami i mauzolea z płaczącymi aniołami. Cmentarz Metairie nie jest miejscem pochówku, ale miejscem pochówku.
