"The French Quarter", often referred to as the Vieux Carré, stands as the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans, encapsulating a rich tapestry of history, architecture, and culture. Established by the French in 1718, its layout and buildings reflect a blend of French, Spanish, and Creole influences. The architecture here is a feast for the eyes, characterized by colorful Creole townhouses with ornate iron balconies, courtyards hidden behind high walls, and the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, which dominates Jackson Square.
