45 - Excursion minute des temps forts du quartier Français à La Nouvelle-Orléans





Description
Si vous ne disposez que de peu de temps mais que vous souhaitez découvrir le plus possible le quartier français, cette visite est faite pour vous ! Nous avancerons à un rythme rapide, mais vous pourrez prendre toutes ces photos ! Nous verrons tous les sites célèbres du quartier français en 45 minutes. Il n'y a pas autant de narration ou d'histoire que lors d'une visite typique de deux heures, mais votre guide vous donnera un récapitulatif de la visite et une liste de façons recommandées de profiter encore plus de la Nouvelle-Orléans.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Commencez votre visite éclair au cœur de la ville, Jackson Square. De là, vous pouvez voir la cathédrale Saint-Louis, deux musées de l'État de Louisiane, les emblématiques appartements Pontalba et la statue d'Andrew Jackson (bien sûr). Votre guide vous fera un bref historique de la Nouvelle-Orléans, puis c'est parti !
Continuez sur Chartres Street pour découvrir quelques exemples de l'architecture emblématique de la Nouvelle-Orléans et de superbes boutiques et restaurants, dont une maison qui a été préparée comme refuge pour Napoléon (spoiler : il nous a posé un lapin), un musée consacré aux aspects les plus étranges de la profession pharmaceutique du XIXe siècle ( sangsues !) et le palais de justice suprême de l'État de Louisiane.
Parcourez Bourbon Street pour avoir un avant-goût (pas littéralement - ce serait dégoûtant) du centre des festivités nocturnes de la Nouvelle-Orléans, y compris les music-halls et les débits de boissons les plus célèbres. Ne vous inquiétez pas, ce n'est généralement pas si choquant pendant la journée.
Royal Street possède les plus beaux exemples de maisons de ville du quartier français avec des balcons en dentelle de fer, des artistes de rue et des galeries d'art. C'est la rue de vos rêves à la Nouvelle-Orléans !
Faites une pause assez longtemps pour prendre quelques photos de la maison « la plus hantée » de la Nouvelle-Orléans : l'ancienne résidence de la tueuse en série du XIXe siècle, Madame Delphine LaLaurie. Peut-être que vous aurez des frissons !
Voici le plus ancien bâtiment de la région, construit à l'origine pour les religieuses Ursulines venues à la Nouvelle-Orléans en 1727 pour ajouter un peu de respectabilité à la ville - bonne chance, pauvres religieuses !
Trouvez des idées de collations et de shopping à venir au French Market, le marché en plein air près de la rivière où la Nouvelle-Orléans fait du shopping et mange depuis des siècles. Découvrez les têtes d'alligator, les poupées vaudou, les pralines, les crêpes, les verres à shot et les huîtres que vous recherchiez ! Mais vous devrez revenir plus tard – nous avons encore plus à voir !
Découvrez un peu du « grain » du quartier français sur Decatur Street, où se trouvent des boutiques intéressantes, des restaurants de fruits de mer, des cafés, des confiseries, de la musique partout et une statue dorée de Jeanne d'Arc ! Suivez le sucre en poudre jusqu'au célèbre Café Du Monde, le meilleur endroit pour siroter un café au lait tout en mangeant des beignets et en regardant les gens et en écoutant du jazz en direct. Si votre grand-mère est venue ici, elle l'a fait, vous devez le faire aussi ! Vous avez encore faim ? Nous avons presque fini!
Ce parc s'appelle désormais Oscar Dunn Park (mais Google n'a pas reçu le mémo), et c'est l'endroit idéal pour terminer votre visite ultra-rapide du quartier français, avec une vue sur Jackson Square et le fleuve Mississippi. Vous avez mérité ces beignets et vous êtes TELLEMENT plus intelligent et en meilleure forme qu’il y a une heure !

Just go book the tour already - you will not be disappointed! Libby was a fantastic guide with so much knowledge of New Orleans and its colorful and interesting history. She tailored our tour to the interests of our group and made sure to answer every question we had. We had a group of high school aged girls and she delivered the information in a way that hooked them from the beginning. I hope we can come back and do another one soon!!
I am so grateful for this review, as I was grateful to be able to walk around with your group in the French Quarter! We had a really nice time. There are so many things to see and do that we are always very happy with our guests tell us what they’re interested in so we can customize the tour. I know you’ll be back, and I’m looking forward to showing y’all around again! There are more stories to tell! Libby
Libby was great. She made my birthday trip here extra special and took care to know what we wanted to see and learn as a group. I recommend her!
Thank you so much! We are so happy that you shared a little of your birthday weekend with us, and that you enjoyed our walk through the French Quarter. Your family and friends and even the baby were gracious and tough in the rain! Please come again! Libby
Libby gave us a great experience. She’s very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm for New Orleans shone through every moment. We also appreciated her shopping recommendations and we went to every place!
Thank you for this wonderful review! As we talked about, this tour is a fairly new offering so each high rating and recommendation is enormously helpful to this small business! We love our “quick run“ through the French Quarter and we are happy that you enjoyed it, too! It was a pleasure to walk with you and your friends, and we look forward to showing you around next time. See you then! Libby
Libby was fantastic! She was incredibly informative, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made the experience really enjoyable. We also had the opportunity to have a private tour, which made it even more special. Highly recommend! 45 minutes was the perfect length especially for the afternoon heat.
Wow! Thank you so much! It was fun to walk around with you and your group, and I appreciate your hardiness in the heat and humidity. I think our 45 minute tours are going to be very popular this summer! I hope your entire time in New Orleans was fun and memorable, and I hope y’all look me up and walk with me next time you make it to the city. Libby
This is a great way to start a stay in New Orleans if you're staying in the French Quarter. Libby knew a ton of history and shared her preferred spots for dining, beignets, music, and more. She was a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! I had a great time walking around with you and the students through the fun French Quarter! I hope your entire adventure in New Orleans was a memorable and fun, and that you walk with me another time. Libby
Libby was amazing and worked with our schedule when our flight was cancelled after a seven hour delay. She was understanding and accommodating and we couldn't be more grateful! The tour told us everything we needed to know and more about the area. She also recommended Sweet Saint Ice Cream which was literally the best ice cream I've ever had and Empanola which was incredible.
I am so happy that we finally got to run around together in the French Quarter after all your delays! I enjoyed meeting y'all and sharing history and recommendations. I am glad you had the ice cream and the empanadas, and I hope y'all come tour with me again! Libby
Perfect tour if you don’t have much time. Libby was so knowledgeable and the tour was a great start to understanding the history and sights of NOLA
Thank you! It was so much fun to fly through the French Quarter with you as you took pictures of this beautiful neighborhood and furiously took notes about fun things to do! Please come again! Libby
