French Quarter Fun

 

Bourbon Street

For the past century, particularly since World War II, Bourbon Street has had an entirely different reputation, now more closely related to that Kentucky Whisky.

Jackson Square

Jackson Square is the heart of the French Quarter, a park surrounded by shops, artists, museums, a cathedral, and a splendid view of the Mississippi River.

The Jackson Square Artist Community

For decades, these artists hang their paintings on the fence of Jackson Square, and tourists watch them paint, and make portraits

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop

This building, now a tavern, is one of the oldest buildings in the French Quarter, and was once used by the privateer Jean Lafitte.

Pirate Alley

Pirate Alley extends from Jackson Square to Royal St. Located in Pirate Alley is the William Faulkner House.
