The French Quarter is a strange place; even its French name, Vieux Carré, is composed of two adjectives meaning “Old Square.” Most tourists explore the Vieux Carré for the restaurants, bars, architecture, or novelty shops but the French Quarter is actually a residence, including the homes above and behind some of these shops. This site is basically a first-person photographic interactive map of every intersection in the Vieux Carré. Simple as the concept is, please understand the difference between moving and turning before continuing. “MOVING” (top icons), advances to the next location while “TURNING,” changes the directional view only, while remaining at the same intersection. Vieuxcarre.org totals over 600 pictures catching North, South, East, and West views; covering each intersection from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue and from North Rampart Street to The Mississippi River. The river is basically south, however, in reality the entire area is on a 45-degree tilt to the Southeast. Each photo contains a miniature Vieux Carré map at the top, complete with a red dot (you are here). Note: This is a Christian based web site where Jesus Christ is exalted and morally offensive material has been avoided. Below are some examples of directional icons as they appear on the interactive walk, followed by a fullsize Vieux Carré map, similar to the map icon on every photo. Thanks for visiting vieuxcarré.org!
