Stunning historical architectural venue. Notable stop along the river near the French Quarter. Free admission and free to tour on your own. Relatively safe and friendly area to visit during the day. This landmark is a good meeting point if meeting up with friends or tour guides. Spectacular views all around. Wonderful place to take photos! ♥️

Beautiful place with talented artists and a great amalgam of cultures! Unfortunately no pets are allowed in the park, even though we witnessed children ripping off plants straight from the roots. Regardless if you wanna sight see, and meet with a wide variety of people and cultures I highly recommend!
