We begin in the French Quarter, the most emblematic New Orleans neighborhood. We'll discuss geography, architecture and the folks that made our fabled city in the swamp. Next, we’ll head upriver to the Garden District. As we proceed through the oak-lined streets we will take in the grandeur of historic mansions and gardens and discuss the political landscape that gave birth to the Garden District. Lafayette Cemetery, one of New Orleans’ above ground “cities of the dead”. We can peer inside the cemetery from outside the gates and discuss the unique burial traditions of the Crescent City.
