A Brief History of the French Quarter
Founded in 1718 as the original city of New Orleans, the French Quarter — or Vieux Carré — is the city’s oldest neighborhood and its most enduring symbol. Designed in the classic European grid style, it was shaped by French, then Spanish colonial rule, which left behind the distinctive architecture we now recognize: lacy iron balconies, quiet courtyards, and pastel facades. Over the centuries, it has survived fires, floods, and reinvention, yet its spirit remains untouched.
Today, the French Quarter is a living museum — but never frozen in time. It’s where tradition and elegance still matter, where every brick has a story, and where the city’s cultural soul beats strongest. Visit the iconic George Rodrigue Art Gallery or meander down the street meet Michalopoulos. To live near it is to be surrounded by more than beauty — it’s to be part of something historic, alive, and utterly irreplaceable.

Food and Entertainment
The French Quarter is home to some of the most celebrated dining in the country — not just iconic, but genuinely exceptional. From the white-linen elegance of Galatoire’s and Antoine’s to the refined intimacy of Bayona or the inventive charm of Irene’s (a BGPM team favorite), the Quarter offers a culinary experience steeped in tradition and elevated by excellence. Cafés hum quietly in the mornings, tucked into side streets where espresso is served slowly and with care. By evening, candlelight spills from courtyard restaurants, and every meal feels like a moment. Café Brulot at Arnaud’s anyone?!
Entertainment here is equally immersive. Live jazz drifts from behind carriage doors, historic theatres host world-class performances, and rooftop bars offer rare views of the river and skyline. Whether it’s a private art gallery opening, a late-night piano lounge, or simply a walk past live street music that sounds more like a concert than a sidewalk act — the French Quarter doesn’t entertain, it captivates. Living nearby means stepping easily between quiet luxury and vibrant culture, on your terms.
