We invite you to spend some time in the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. As you walk the streets of the Vieux Carré, you will learn the stories of Louisiana's Creoles. Louisiana is unique among regions of the United States. The fascinating stories of notable Creoles (West Africans, Native Americans and Europeans) will shed light on the development of the culture that sets us apart from the rest of the American South.
Louisiana is part of the southern United States, but culturally it is the northernmost region of the Caribbean. This tour is an exploration of Louisiana Creole, an exploration of the culture that gave birth to jazz and zydeco, gumbo and jambalaya.
(This tour also includes a visit to a courtyard of a 19th century house.)

The tour of the French Quarter and its history was super well told, we were able to learn more about the origins of New Orleans.

Superbe visite du quartier créole en compagnie de Lawson. Lawson ne résume pas le passé entre le bien et le mal, il y apporte toute la complexité des relations humaines dans un contexte certes de violences extrêmes mais aussi de porosité culturelle entre les personnes . Il donne des clés de compréhension bien utiles également à notre époque contemporaine !

Nice meeting.
If there is a visit to New Orleans, it is this one, with Lawson! Everything is there: historical details, acute knowledge of the neighborhood from the 17th century to the present day but without ever crashing under the news, humor, elegance, a nice listening to questions, and a real sensitivity. It's simple it was a journey in the journey. I absolutely recommend.
