Co vás čeká na pěší trase s audioprůvodcem v New Orleans

A New Orleans audio walk moves between two very different moods, the ironwork balconies and jazz clubs of the French Quarter and the oak canopied mansions of the Garden District, with narration timed to each stop so you can wander slowly without losing track of the story.

The French Quarter Walk starts outside the Hotel Monteleone on Royal Street, passes the Napoleon House and the galleries of the Historic New Orleans Collection, then opens onto Jackson Square and St Louis Cathedral before continuing to Cafe du Monde, the French Market and the candlelit bar at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, finishing at Preservation Hall. It covers 2.4 kilometers, about 34 minutes of walking, and it's designed to end around nightfall.

The Garden District Walk begins at the Pontchartrain Hotel after a ride on the St Charles streetcar, then wanders past Trinity Episcopal Church, the Buckner Mansion, the house where Jefferson Davis died, and Anne Rice's Gothic home at Brevard-Clapp, before finishing near the turquoise front of Commander's Palace and the shops of Magazine Street. It covers 2.6 kilometers, about 36 minutes, past sidewalks buckled by the roots of enormous live oaks.

Between the two walks you move from the three century old grid the French laid out beside the Mississippi to a suburb of grand mansions built a century later by Americans who wanted their own neighborhood apart from the Creole city. Both stay flat and shaded, though the oaks make the Garden District the cooler of the two on a hot afternoon.

Kam se vydat v New Orleans

Několik zastávek, které potkáte cestou, a důvody, proč u nich stojí za to zpomalit.

Cast iron balconies hung with flags along Royal Street in the French Quarter

Royal Street

Royal Street is the most elegant street in the French Quarter, lined with antiques dealers, jewelers and galleries selling everything from old maps to fine furniture beneath cast iron balconies hung with ferns and flags. It runs a block in from the noise of Bourbon Street, and its buildings are mostly Spanish colonial in their bones, rebuilt in brick and stucco after two great fires in the 1780s and 1790s burned through the original French city. Walking it slowly, you'll pass the Hotel Monteleone with its revolving Carousel Bar and the galleries of the Historic New Orleans Collection, one of which survived both fires and dates back to 1792.

The Quarter's iron balconies

Look up anywhere in the French Quarter and you'll find its real decoration: tiers of cast iron balconies, some of them wrapped in ferns, flowering plants and the kind of lacy ironwork that turned ordinary buildings into the postcard image of New Orleans. Much of this ironwork dates from the late nineteenth century, added during a wave of rebuilding after the Quarter's original wooden structures burned in two great fires. Walking slowly with your eyes up rather than down is the best way to see the Quarter, since the real texture of the neighborhood lives on these upper floors rather than at street level.

The New Orleans skyline lit up along the Mississippi River at night

The Mississippi riverfront

From the Moonwalk promenade near Cafe du Monde, you can watch the Mississippi River swing around the city in the great bend that gave New Orleans its nickname, the Crescent City. At night the downtown skyline lights up along the water, a view that would have been unrecognizable in the Quarter's early days, when this stretch of riverbank was lined with market stalls and the warehouses of the cotton trade. The French Market still runs along the river just behind you, a string of open sheds that claims to be the oldest public market in the country, its stalls these days full of local produce, food and a sprawling flea market.

Garden District mansions

The Garden District was built after the Louisiana Purchase by American families who wanted a neighborhood apart from the French speaking Creoles downtown, and they filled it with mansions meant to outshine anything in the Quarter. Walking its streets today, you'll pass raised cottages and Greek Revival columns behind iron fences, sitting back from the sidewalk under a canopy of live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Almost every house here is a private home, so the custom is to admire them from the public sidewalk rather than lingering at the gate. The combination of grand architecture and overgrown greenery gives the neighborhood a quieter, more private feel than the Quarter.

Live oaks arching over a street in the Garden District

Live oaks of the Garden District

The live oaks of the Garden District are old enough to have grown up alongside the mansions themselves, their heavy branches arching clean across the street to meet in the middle and dropping curtains of Spanish moss that sway even on a still day. Look closely in the branches after Mardi Gras season and you might still spot strings of beads caught from the parades months earlier. The oaks do double duty, shading the sidewalks from a sun that can be brutal for much of the year, while their roots have also buckled the old brick and slate paving into uneven slabs, so most people spend as much time watching their feet here as they do looking up.
