  Could not go into the square or the Cathedral. But we were able to go across the street to enjoy Beignets and coffee outside in Cafedu Monde. Enjoyed the band playing music on the sidewalk adjacent.....  more »

  This is the iconic church on the square, a place that is loaded with city history and where you will want to go. Step inside, it's lovely.  more »

  Upon first glance of the St. Louis Cathedral, nestled within Jackson Square, it is like looking at a painting. The high, towering spires and iconic architecture silhouette the blue sky. It is like an image of old-world France right in the middle of busy downtown New Orleans. Unfortunately, on the weekend we were there, the French Quarter festival was going on. And while it was a great time, the city and especially Jackson Square were crowded beyond comprehension. Once we finally navigated our way through the masses, we came to the cathedral, which itself was a quiet, peaceful sanctuary among the chaos. I was in awe of the high vaulted ceilings and opulent interior. The Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States. It's a pretty amazing place.

  Beautiful temple. The stain glass windows are amazing. The art on the ceilings is equally beautiful. There is no doubt it is a place worth visiting in New Orleans. Once there, offer up a prayer for our beloved country.
