the architecture and ambience was something we never experienced before. Life is bustling here and the people were courteous to a fault! We love the French Quarter.

Royal street was like an upscale Bourbon street. Nice/expensive shops, more high end bars and restaurants. Less crowds. Quieter. I loved our place on Boubon street but if we chose to stay elsewhere next time I would look to Royal street.

We walked this street every day just to avoid Burbon Street. There is art and antiques everywhere- sadly, most of them are overpriced and are just taking atvantage of the Royal Street French Quarter location.

Tons of shops line Royal - from typical tourist trap New Orleans gift shops to fine art and antiques. Much quieter and Much quieter than Bourbon St. Several good restaurants as well. Enjoyed Mr. B's Bistro this past weekend.
