Bourbon Street New Orleans
Bourbon Street has been called the "Greatest Free Show on Earth." It is the heart and soul of the French Quarter and one place you will not want to miss during your visit to New Orleans. If you are traveling with little ones, it is probably best to hit Bourbon Street before the sun goes down. After dark the party turns a bit bawdy - but that is probably part of the reason you came to New Orleans, isn't it? At night the street is closed off making it a large pedestrian mall where you can amble from club to club.

For the past 35 years Maison Bourbon has kept the finest traditions of New Orleans Jazz alive and well, 7 days a week. Dixieland Jazz was born in the Quarter and you will hear it at its best right here. There are plenty of bars and clubs on Bourbon Street, including a strip of gay bars that includes the Cafe Lafitte in Exile, the first gay bar in the US.

Whether you come to Bourbon Street to enjoy the architecture and historic ambience, or are planning to party the night away, a visit to one of the most famous streets in America will doubtlessly be a memorable one.
