French Quarter Balconies Editorial Photo

It is no wonder tourists and locals alike flock to Royal Street when they want a real New Orleans experience. One block over from Bourbon Street is the French Quarter’s more refined and elegant epicenter of local art. Some of the most picturesque and frequently photographed buildings and iron lace balconies – many of which date back to the 18th and 19th centuries – are along the 13-block stretch of Royal between Canal Street and Esplanade Avenue.
