Go past Jackson Square and observe the street performers and artists that help make this city's culture so rich. When the French first settled in New Orleans, this was the center of the city.

Among them are the St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest Catholic Church still in operation in the US, and the Cabildo, where the Louisiana Purchase was signed in 1803.

Stop at Bourbon Street, with some of the most colorful nightlife in the United States. Learn about the other side of the famous street, where nestled amongst the rows of Creole Cottages, you will find the favorite hang out of the Pirate Jean Lafitte.
