New Orleans Highlights of the Garden District Walking Tour
Overview
Your exploration begins outside PJs coffeehouse, a local treasure that features beignets.

Your expert guide will provide a quick overview of Louisiana history before delving into the architectural gems of the neighborhood. Historical context acknowledging the indigenous presence, the slave economy, the patrons of the mansions along with the architects are discussed. Local burial traditions are reflected upon OUTSIDE the gates of the historic Lafayette cemetery.
