Overview

Quote:
The creole cooking, swamp boat tours, legends of the bayous, location sites of movies made in New Orleans, and the French Quarter.

Quick Tips:

You should have on walking shoes, be adventurous, have a good sense of humorand love of history, and a GREAT appetite for creole, cajun, and french cuisine.
