Travel: New Orleans is open as the state moves forward to keep visitors safely

I realized that I was in one of the great cities in the United States. It is a city that may claim that it is not an American city.

It dates back to 1718, when France established a POST base in front of the colony. New Orleans has a rich culture, a wide range of history and heritage. The influence of French, Spanish, and Caribbean is found in the French district or the oldest neighboring Vieux Carre.

Originally, I was planning a trip in line with the last battle in the 1812 war, the battle of the New Orleans in 1815.

Despite the battle after the Peace Treaty to end the war, the United States victory against the United Kingdom has solidified the US’s sovereignty in the North American continent. It also made General Andrew Jackson a national hero, later promoted him to the White House, where he became one of the most popular presidents in history.

My plan changed when New Orleans was attacked by Jihadists early in the New Year.

I have postponed my visit for a few days. I arrived in Crescent because President Joe Biden was in a quarter for the pagan chattering Service ceremony at St. Louis Cathedral. The landmark, dedicated to Louis I, the king of France in the late 13th century, was later Canaan as a saint, and was rebuilt in the mid -19th century, was the pillar of the Roman Catholic Bishops. Early day of the French village.

In front of the cathedral is a plaza and a very large Jackson Square, named after the New Orleans hero, as suggested. In 1803, when Napoleon sold 828,000 square mile USA for $ 1803 for $ 150 million, the French tricolor was lowered due to stars and stripes. This transaction, which is a purchase of Louisiana, sets the US expansion foundation. This continues to have a very serious idea of ​​Donald J. Trump with a very energetic trolling in Canada and Greenland.

Is New Orleans safe? It was a question I continued to ask myself for a short walk from the quarter of France for 4 nights at the hotel.

I interviewed Billy Nyungesser of Liisiana in Li. Unlike other vice governor, he has the real authority. In the case of nungesser, he supervises the division, including sightseeing, the fourth largest industry in the state.

He said that the mayor of Latoya Cantorel asked if he was confident that New Orleans was safe for visitors.

“Before this terrible incident, I had a big change and a crime improvement in the quarter,” Nungesser said. “To say that, the mayor is completely -I don’t want to say that she doesn’t have a clue -she doesn’t just care. In the case of Super Bowl and Maldigra, the federal government, state police, and others You can see that the presence of the sheriff is completely tilted to make the city completely. “

This problem is before the attack of terrorists that could have happened anywhere. You cannot make a barrier to all the cities in the country.

NUNGESSER also praised Governor Jeff Landley, who moved Louisiana police officers in a quarter to definitely protect the most valuable products in the $ 1.9 billion of the $ 1.9 billion in the state.

“We intend to make this city safe,” he said. “There is no food, music, and culture in the world.”

Nungesser is correct about it. Louisiana, more specifically, New Orleans is really hospitality than any other place I visited.

If you go

I stayed in Le Pavilion. This has been newly added to the tribute portfolio brand inspired by Marriott boutique. A few blocks from the French quarter are wonderful.

At the restaurant, a dessert banana foster parent at the invented Brennans, arrived in 1840, and is the oldest restaurant in the city, Antoine. For those who have visited the New Orleans Museum, it is recommended for nearby Ralph parks. Of course, visiting New Orleans will not be completed without visiting the iconic cafe dummonds by drinking chicolibular coffee and a vinet donut covered with powdered sugar.

Visitors on the battlefield in 1815, taking care of the National Park Bureau, look at the actual battlefield and explore the visitor center in a small but excellent museum related to the 1812 war. can.

In addition to regular and special Roman catholic services, the St. Louis Cathedral is open every day from 9 am to 4 pm.
