The air in New Orleans feels like a slow conversation—thick, warm, and willing to tell a story if you ask. You meet it first outside your hotel as a compact, climate-controlled mini‑bus eases into the curb. Windows frame ironwork balconies and live oak canopies; a guide with easy authority points out a statue, a shotgun house, then steers the conversation toward the French Quarter’s layered past.
