★★★★☆
Introduction
The French Quarter (Vieux Carré) is New Orleans' oldest, most seductive quarter—French and Spanish colonial squares, wrought-iron balconies and cobbled lanes weaving a languid, feverish mood. Bourbon Street parties to music all night; Jackson Square is framed by St. Louis Cathedral, artists and street jazz. Cradle of jazz and stage for Cajun-Creole cuisine, by day or night it immerses you in the singular rhythm of the 'Big Easy'.
