And its unique architecture for example skinny streets, wrought iron balconies above the, blind alleys and wonderfully elderly buildings (in forms of narrow, tall, short or stout) that motivates exploration and estimations of when, who, and what became of those that once lived nearby. Lots of these buildings were formerly owned by wealthy plantation owners who loved their seasons inside the city.

And that is as nearby as one could get to French environment as New Orleans imitated the style.
