French Quarter. The French Quarter, also know as the Vieux CarrÃ©, is the oldest and most famous neighborhood in New Orleans. The Quarter, as it is commonly known, runs from the banks of the Mississippi River to Rampart Street and between Canal Street and Esplanade Avenue.
New Orleans is a fairly compact town, but if you choose to stay Uptown, you'll need to travel a bit to reach the Quarter. Although most hotels favored by visitors are in the French Quarter, Central Business District (CBD), or Warehouse District, there are also good options that are farther afield.
