Exploring the Garden District

Opposite the French Quarter, its brightly colored houses, its secret courtyards, its narrow and turbulent alleys, visit the Garden District thanks to your French-speaking guide. Go up the majestic and residential avenues of the "Garden District" where the Americans took up residence after the takeover of Louisiana by the United States in 1803. With its white houses with colonnades worthy of the "Gone with the Wind" planters and surrounded of green gardens, the Garden District is the chic district of the city. Here architecture rivals the memory of essential writers who have stayed in New Orleans, such as Mark Twain (1835-1910, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer") and more recently Anne Rice, who wrote in his mansion surrounded by sumptuous centuries-old oaks "Interview with a vampire", adapted to the cinema with a certain Brad Pitt, former resident of New Orleans. A visit to make for its visual (camera recommended) and to rediscover some great names in American literature and cinema. This excursion includes a visit to Lafayette Cemetery # 1. *** INFO *** - Schedule: All year, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 a.m. - Meeting place: meeting at the entrance of the RINK, mini cultural center / art gallery, under the awning and located at 2727 avenue Prytania - Show up 15 minutes early - Reconfirmation between 24 and 48 hours before the activity by calling +1 504 568 1801 - Tips not included
