About French
Quarter
French Quarter, located between Canal Street and Esplanade Avenue, is a historic and nightlife New Orleans neighborhood with wrought-iron balconies and narrow, lantern-lit streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Bourbon Street at St. Peter Street, where music clubs, courtyard bars, and late-night bites spill into the sidewalks. Jackson Square frames a formal green with the St. Louis Cathedral and a steady rhythm of street performers. Preservation Hall and The Historic New Orleans Collection anchor the cultural calendar in intimate, old-world rooms. Creole townhouses, hidden patios, and brick alleys shape a walk-first lifestyle. The Mississippi River edge at Woldenberg Park adds breezes and long views beside the Moon Walk promenade.
