Struttin' Down Royal Street Walking Audio Tour in English
The journey begins at the corner of Royal and Canal Streets in Old New Orleans. This was the gateway to the nineteenth century Creole “promenade publique”. It was a lavish and decadent existence, filled with art, banquets, opera, architecture, duels, shopping and no shortage of Bordeaux and Bourbon. The Creoles even insist that they invented the cocktail.
This French Quarter lifestyle in this crescent of the Mississippi River gradually gives way to the twentieth century traditions of Mardi Gras, jazz, and the rich bohemian existence of artists, musicians and writers. We will visit with William Faulkner, Louis Prima, Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote along the way.
From Monkey Wrench Corner, Pirates Alley, Jackson Square, to the Battle of New Orleans… come with me… and hold on to your chapeau!
