The French Quarter is the only intact French Colonial and Spanish settlement remaining in the United States. It has been a continuous residential neighbourhood since 1718.

Voodoo Spiritual Temple

One meaning assigned to voodoo, 'being in a trance,' is in part derived from the lack of proper burial for slaves, which was believed to result in restless souls or the walking dead, also called zombies or plat-eyes. In New Orleans, the spirits of deceased ancestors are carefully protected through common rituals such as jazz funerals, featuring brassy bands and a 'second line' of parades in top hats and umbrellas.
