Overview

Soak up the unforgettable atmosphere of New Orleans’ French Quarter! On this mobile audio tour, you will experience more diversity and history than in any other place in America — while also enjoying delicious food, drink, music, and culture.

The French Quarter is home to the Old Absinthe House on Bourbon Street, which was the meeting place where General Andrew Jackson formed an unusual alliance with notorious pirate Jean Lafitte — a partnership that gave America a decisive edge against the British in the War of 1812.

Perhaps the only things more mysterious than the purported mind-bending qualities of the famous drink served at the Old Absinthe House are the voodoo potions and dolls you’ll find on Dumaine Street and the legend of the Casket Girls at the Old Ursuline Convent, the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley.

In this self-guided walking tour, you will discover all this and more while exploring the city's unique cuisines, music, faiths and customs.

    Jackson Square

    Jackson Square is the gleaming center of New Orleans and the architectural gems that make it glow!The central diamond in this three-building setting is Saint Louis Cathedral, named for Louis the 9th, the sainted monarch of France. A church has stood here since 1718, the year of the city’s French colonial founding. Though many rich and famous locals—like native musician Harry Connick Jr.—have worshiped here, the cathedral has long been a place to welcome everyone, even enslaved people and enslavers.
