About
Faubourg
Faubourg, located between the French Quarter and the Marigny, is a historic and residential New Orleans neighborhood with a tight street grid and Creole cottage streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Frenchmen Street at Decatur, where live-music clubs, small galleries, and late-night bars spill onto the sidewalks. Shotgun doubles and wrought-iron balconies sit beside pocket courtyards and corner groceries. The New Orleans Jazz Museum and the French Market anchor nearby cultural routines. Crescent Park frames the river edge with long views and a linear promenade. Sidewalk patios and second-line routes give the blocks a steady, social rhythm.
