Mejores Tours de Barrio francés desde Gaithersburg

The most famous and oldest neighborhood in New Orleans is a masterpiece of late 18th Century Spanish colonial architecture running 85 square blocks along the Mississippi River. The French Quarter, or Vieux Carre, was established in 1718 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville and New Orleans grew around this picturesque square. It was developed when the city was ruled by Spain before it was acquired by France in 1801 and then the United States in 1803. Notable sites in the U.S. National Historic Landmark are Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, The Cabildo, St. Louis Cathedral, Hermann-Grima House, Gallier House and Cafe du Monde.
