Of course, New Orleans is much more than this, the French Quarter is the hub, where one can stroll about and enjoy, but there are also some great tours of the area - the Historic New Orleans Collection, dedicated to THE HISTORY OF N EW O RLEANS; or to see the Causeway on Lake Pontchartrain at 24.2 miles, the longest overspan bridge in the world.
