Located in the southern United States, New Orleans is a seaport city, but it is famous for its unique “French quarter”, also known as “French Corner”. If you are heading for Mardi Gras (the day before the Holy Fire), you can also see many parades associated with the festival.
If you visit at any other time, you can also visit the local architecture, enjoy the local jazz music wherever you are, and see a lot of street performances from morning till night.
