The French Quater is a wild happening place for young people or people that like to party, We walked around had some hurricanes and looked at the wild people. Not a place for small kids or young teenagers More

This place a ton of shops and food and it is extremely different between the night and day. I do love how it allows for the street performers their chance and it attracts a great blend of people, but god! It's so bloody noisy at night! A lot of fun though and again, a great mix of people. More

People need to learn how to behave and not get so stupidly drunk that they can't control themselves... Do not take your children to Bourbon Street at night! The rest of the Quarter is beautiful and quaint, like a European city. More
