Jackson Square, New Orleans

Who would have guessed that a city square would be such a hot spot!!! Located right in front of the Basilica of St. Louis King of France, this used to be the heart of the French Quarter... and it arguably could be said that it still is! All around Jackson Square is surrounded with art vendors, magicians, jesters, musicians and street performers! Its a beautiful park that houses a statue of Confederate Andrew Jackson. In 2012 the American Planning Association designated Jackson Square as one of America’s Great Public Spaces. It truly is worth a stop from all the shows that happen all day long around this hot spot! Across the street resides another landmark, the Cafe Du Mont. Just down the street resides the famous French Market; all around the square resides many famous restaurants and even a historical theater! Stop on by and enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes that makes the French Quarter one of the countries richest cultural heritage site!

Great place to sight see loved it. My girlfriend got a henna did while there she loved it plus she got a 40 dollar henna for 20 so that was good. New Orleans is just great all around. Great antique store there too.

The French style architecture can be described as authentic and the clean kept foliage adds to the scenery. Can also find many tarot and palm readers providing services; great place to take pictures and tour with family and kids or maybe find what your fortune holds for you.

Historic park in the French quarter featuring a statue of general Jackson. There are plenty of places to sit and the garden looks beautiful. With the old chapel in the background you can get some awesome pictures.
