New Orleans

The Mississippi River defines the setting of New Orleans — its broad bend gave the city its Crescent City nickname and still shapes its working waterfront, levees and neighbourhoods. Founded by the French in 1718, New Orleans developed at a meeting point of French, Spanish, African and Caribbean influences that remain audible in its music and visible in its food and architecture. The French Quarter preserves the city’s best-known historic streets, including Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral, while streetcars run along St. Charles Avenue. Jazz is central to the city’s cultural identity, and Mardi Gras is its most celebrated annual season. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Louisiana connects regionally.
