It is hard to consider seeing the sights in New Orleans after the diastrous effects of Hurricane Katrina. However after nearly 5 years the tourists have augmented and who could blame them, French Quarter is one of the most traditional, mysteriously stunning neighborhoods to see for various reasons. The food, the the atmosphere, and the music are 3 main points of interest that draw interest to the streets of French Quarter, priorly recognized as Vieux Carre is one of the the most established areas in New Orleans.

Nowadays, the musical talent you will hear in the region of French Quarter changes more than the food. Vintage New Orleans jazz remains king at the Preservation Hall Jazz Band building on St. Peter Street that goes back to the War of 1812. Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton used to be in cooperation members of this top of the line musical group that has been attracting spectators since 1961. Nowadays, the musicians are younger but the fantastic New Orleans jazz they blast here is as pure as ever.

The French Quarter was spared by Hurricane Katrina because it is specifically the highest district of the metropolis. And its “one of a kind” architecture like skinny streets, wrought iron balconies hanging over the streets, blind alleys and gloriously elderly buildings (in forms of narrow, tall, short or stout) that invites exploration as well as estimations of who, when, and what became of those that formerly lived there. Lots of these structures were once owned by rich plantation proprietors who enjoyed their seasons inside the city. In the course of the olden golden times, the French Quarter was shared by absinthe homes, brothels, gaming parlors, convents, tea shops, and fashionable gown producers. Plus this is as nearby as one could get to French life style as New Orleans imitated the style. And recent times you will discover that absinthe dens are taken over by bars and dressmakers are replaced by souvenir, mask and bead stores. Though, it is easy to still find the beautiful church cathedral which was the spiritual heart of the old city still stationed on Jackson Square.
