Faubourg Marigny, New Orleans, LA
Faubourg Marigny, a triangular or trapezoidal neighborhood separated from the French Quarter, are rows of French and Spanish architecture splashed in tropical colors; you’ll also see stately white Greek Revival houses and mansions with leaded-glass doors and wrought-iron fences. Beautiful Creole and neoclassical cottages, abandoned by residents moving to the suburbs in the 1950s, have been restored and painted in gold, red, and mossy green hues. Blooming crape myrtle trees draped with Mardi Gras beads line the sidewalks. On the narrow roads you’ll see everything from new BMWs to vintage
Volkswagen buses.
