法国区

街边有很多卖t恤，sauce，巫术相关，画作等小店，还有很多餐馆，也有很多街头艺人演奏。晚上九十点游客依旧不少。但有点脏乱。

建筑很值得一游。我们第一次去那闲逛是在一天的中午,可以很明显的看出来,今年这个时候,这里比往常安静了很多。这里有很多有趣的东西可看,不过当然有些也很无趣。我记起来,这个地区很穷,所以看好你的钱包和钱夹。因为正在为举办超级杯做准备,所以道路正在维修,也使得该地区非常混乱,我能给你的最好的建议就是,穿上合适的鞋子,因为即使没有这种混乱的情况,这里的路况也不是很好。

都说了我有点受不了,我们在这吃的晚饭,晚上8点的时候这里还很热闹的,夜生活很丰富,看看当地人和游客也是挺有意思的。

法国区没有什么大的缺点。建筑美观、大气,不过这里的目标客户似乎只有两种:挥霍人生的年轻人和老年人。对于21岁的年轻人来说,那里都是些俗气的酒吧、俗气的与酒相关的纪念品,以及俗气的单身派对。对于老年人来说,那里有些艺术画廊和纪念品商店,出售烤箱手套、食谱和新奥尔良式的香辣调料。法国区几乎没有什么有创意的东西,或者自主创新的企业。因此,镇上的其他部分也是如此:杂志街、Treme等。遗憾的是,几乎法国区的每一栋建筑物都是为了那些睁大眼睛的、平庸的游客们准备的,因为他们只需要买杯Bud拿铁,边喝边随便逛逛就满足了。我喜欢法国区的建筑,但这里吸引的游客类型,我却不感兴趣。新奥尔良还有很多其他地区,这些其他的部分孕育了很多有创意、有趣的文化艺术区。对我而言,无数的贩卖Saints酒杯的商店,确实不能表明这是一个健康、充满活力和创意的社区。

法兰西区好玩有趣,到处都是美食购物和休闲活动。杰克逊广场和圣路易斯大教堂都值得一看,周边卖艺术品的小摊也可以去逛逛。在这儿还能买到许多不错的纪念品带回家,让你的新奥尔良之旅更加难忘。

在波旁大街上有很多小区,我们在法兰西区待得还不错。但是我觉得这里有太多的脱衣舞表演俱乐部,情侣不适合来这种地方。

We took a double decker bus tour around the French Quarter where we learned a lot about the city and the area! We then toured on foot after and what an exciting place! Apparently Mardi Gras was over a week before but it still seemed like it was on to Us! There was a lot of street performers and vendors all over and a neat place to see! Lots of action and people dressed in costumes or whatever! Must See!

The French Quarter is dirty crowded and way overpriced! We did end up finding a bar with a live band playing Creole music, but otherwise there are tons of sports bars that you can find anywhere or bars playing recorded country music. Did I say it was dirty??

What can you say about the Historic French Quarter. Totally unique with fabulous architecture it must be seen. It can also be a den of debauchery particularly Bourbon Street. We had our two young daughters with us during the early afternoon when we strayed onto Bourbon Street. Not only were the vast majority of people already drunk and staggering but we also came across many young woman in various states of undress wandering the street. Amusing to see but certainly not family friendly and this wasn't even Mardi Gras. That aside the quarter is rich in history and has numerous cool stores, including Voodoo stores, and numerous fabulous restaurants and cafes so really it must be visited when in NOLA.

Such a beautiful, historic neighborhood! There's always something to see or do wandering around in the Vieux Carre. And as long as you don't spend too much time on Bourbon St, it actually adds to the experience.

Love the Quarter! The shops and food are wonderful!! Get a map and do research before you go. Next time, we will get a tour on the first day although we learned a lot by roaming on our own. Tours on Foot is a great free tour group. The guides are top notch, and you pay them what you want to pay. My daughter researched tours on line, and we took a Voodoo tour for fun. It was extremely entertaining and informative... not about hexes and voodoo dolls like in the movies. The downside to me was that parents had their 8 and 10 year old children in the French Quarter which I would not recommend... but each to his own. We can't wait to go back!

There's no other place like it in the world. Some of the best music and food in some of the best holes-in-the-wall that you'll find anywhere. It may look seedy, but drop in to a few of the 'clubs' or restaurants and nine times out of twn you won't be disappointed.

I don't know how to explain how crazy this area is...... I'm not royalty, but I've never seen such a trashy mix of humanity all in one place, anywhere. It's like one big excuse to misbehave, dress badly, talk trash, smoke, drink on the street, you name it. Not rushing back!

Loved the French Quarter so much, visited it every day of my trip! Such an interesting an vibrant area, something new to see every day and every night!

Just wander around slowly, taking in the sounds and smells. Certainly, you don't have to eat here because the places are very overpriced. But, there is nothing quite like this, unless you are in France
