Jackson Square

Named after President Andrew Jackson, this square takes up roughly a city block and took its inspiration from the Place des Vosges in Paris. The commonplace name belies the fairytale-like quality of the park which is a signature part of New Orleans. Rising up in the middle of the park are the three spires of Saint Louis Cathedral. And just like any good fairytale, you'll find enchanting gardens, artists, fortune tellers, live music, tiny shops and boutiques, and a horse-drawn carriage.
