 Sensual.
This one word speaks volumes about New Orleans, the City that Care
Forgot. From the unforgettable musical experience of Bourbon Street to the delicious fragrances exuding from the cafes surrounding Jackson Square, the French Quarter is a rich blend of ethnic tastes and architecture. French heritage and African culture meld with Spanish and Caribbean architectural styles to flavor a unique mix as spicy as the gumbo for which the city is known.
