Neighborhood Guides

French Quarter

The streets and alleys of the French Quarter are renowned for their boutiques, artisans, galleries, music and food. Along with the adjacent French and Farmers Markets, it has long been a leading New Orleans shopping area, and was once the city’s main business district. Even today, the French Quarter with its charming and intimate spaces continues to serve the people of New Orleans.

The Creole Faubourgs

In the 19th century the “Creole Faubourgs” were linguistically and culturally distinct from the American Sector that was developing above Canal Street at the same time. Today these neighborhoods— Faubourg Marigny, St. Claude, St. Roch, and the Bywater— are full of music, art, funk and food, often converging in one place!
