New Orleans IS the French Quarter. I suggest, since
you have such a short time, THAT is what to see.
Walk down Bourbon street, this is O K for kids if you
stay out of the bars, walk about 2 blocks toward the
river to Jackson Square....Cabildo museum,Jax Brewery
(6 floors of shops, etc no brewing anymore), Cafe duMond
for half and half coffee with powered doughnuts,
view of the river..........walk back to Canal Street
or ride the street car,
and take the FREE walk on ferry across the river and back.
You will have seen the best of New Orleans. P M me for more.
