New Orleans today In New Orleans you can find French and Spanish settlers, West and African Slaves, Carribean planters and italien immigrants. All of them make the city special. FOOD AND DRINK: New Orleans is famous for food and drink. A funny tradition is eating black beans with rice every Monday, because in the past Monday was the washing day and therefore women didn´t have time for cooking.

Foundation and early settlement The city was founded in the year 1682 by the French discoverer “Robert Cavalier”. Sixteen years later an expedition under Ludwig fourteen founded a new colony; so Lousiana became the state. In 1717 three French men founded the city of NEW ORLEANS. The city was named Duc d´Orleans

The French Quarter Today you can still visit the French Quarter. In the center of this quarter is the Jackson Square in front of the St.Louis cathedral. At this place slaves and criminals were executed. Most of the architecture is Spanish, not French.

Typical houses of New Orleans Tourist are able to have a look on the typical creole cottages, the double gallery houses and the shotgun-houses. double gallery houses Creole cottage shotgun house

New Orleans – the birthplace of jazz New Orleans is also called the “birthplace of Jazz”, because slaves of the Westindian Islands came together every Sunday at the Congo Square. This square is named today “Louis Armstrong Park”. There they practiced African rhythms and dances,what is now Jazz.

Jazz Jazz was born around 1895 in New Orleans, this music is the product of the Africans. It was a new style of music.
