"CATHEDRAL BASILICA SAINT LOUIS KING OF FRANCE" 2011
615 Pere Antoine Alley @ Jackson Square
New Orleans, LA

"The Big Easy," "New Orleans," or "N'awlins," as the locals call it, is a tasty gumbo stew of African, French, Spanish, Italian and German cultures. It's a place of lush tropical courtyards hidden behind unassuming building fronts. It's where you eat sugary beignets at 3am. It's the birthplace of Louis Armstrong and jazz, and where, above the water line left by Hurricane Katrina, the good times still roll."
Few cities in the world are so identified by a building as is New Orleans. The city is instantly recognized by this cathedral and its position overlooking Jackson Square. Cathedral Basilica Saint Louis (aka St. Louis Cathedral), is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States. The greatest moment in the history of the St. Louis Cathedral was the visit of Pope John Paul II in September, 1987. Self-guided tours are free. View photos of the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in the "Aquariums" gallery, hotel in the "Hotels / Resorts" gallery; Besthoff Sculpture Garden in the "ArtScape" gallery, St. Charles Avenue Homes (Garden District) in the "Parade of Homes" gallery, and all other photos in the "Holiday/Holiday Travel" gallery.
