What to do and see in Faubourg Marigny & Bywater, Louisiana (LA): The Best Sights & Landmarks

August 13, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

Laissez les bons temps rouler! In New Orleans the good times are perpetually rolling down Bourbon Street, which, thanks to the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration, has quite a party animal reputation. Once you’ve soaked up the scenery of the historic French Quarter, tour the elegant Garden District and meet the colorful characters of Frenchmen Street. Experience the city's supernatural vibe at the Voodoo Museum or by taking a guided ghost or vampire tour through taverns, alleyways, and cemeteries.

The was my 6th time to New Orleans. I can't believe I haven't heard of this neighborhood sooner. Walking distance from the Quarter. Head to Frenchman's Street in the "Mar-In-Nee" You will love it.

I've been shopping at this magical store since it was over on Piety st! I've always felt warm and welcomed. The products are unique (you really have to check them out)! I've had readings done by Sallie ~~ They have facilitated me on my path in life and I am truly grateful! A fine store indeed!!

We went at night, I thought someone was playing, but instead he was hanging out around the instruments. It was very well lite and walking around climbing on things was not problem. It wouldn't be good on a muddy day or a wheelchair bound person. We had so much fun playing all the different wacky instruments, who would have know that lids to a pot would sound so great? We didn't have any problems with our GPS finding this place, but it is off the beaten path. We told so many folks about this place. Kids of all ages were having a blast. We got a drink and walked around enjoying watching and playing all the fun instruments. Go and have some fun.
