More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the humid evening and into a street that remembers. The French Quarter’s gaslamps throw long shadows across cobblestones as your guide—part historian, part practitioner—leads the group between barred windows and shuttered courtyards. Laughter, the rattle of a streetcar in the distance and, if you listen, the city’s darker heartbeat: stories of murder, occult rites and ruined fortunes that cling to doorways like ivy.
