Louisiana of the Creoles: French Quarter Tour
We invite you to spend some time in New Orleans' oldest neighborhood. As you walk through the streets of Vieux Carré, you will learn the stories of Louisiana Creoles. Louisiana is unique among the regions of the United States. The fascinating stories of notable Creoles (West African, Native American and European) will enlighten you on the development of the culture that sets us apart from the rest of the southern United States.
Louisiana is part of the southern United States, but culturally it is the northernmost region of the Caribbean. This tour is an exploration of Louisiana Creole, an exploration of the culture that gave birth to jazz and zydeco, okra and jambalaya.
(This tour also includes a visit to Saint-Louis Cemetery No. 1, currently closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and a visit to a courtyard of a 19th century house.)
