Nouvelle-Orleans, La

by Richard Bizier, Roch Nadeau

This pocket guide reveals the Louisiana city, from its beginnings as part of New France to its present incarnations as a gastronomic capital of the United States. Tennesse Williams, wrought-iron balconies, grand plantations, and steamboats on the Mississippi evoke the essence of New Orleans. All of these are covered in this thorough French-language guide, which reveals the secrets of the Crescent City, where a streetcar named Desire once roamed. Listed are the best in lodging, nightlife, shopping, and, of course, fine dining. Descriptions of all the attractions and a star rating system highlight entries of "not to be missed" attractions.
