The Garden District of New Orleans is celebrated for its stately homes and lush greenery. When staying in the French Quarter, the St. Charles Streetcar is easily accessible for the scenic trip up the Avenue, and many other attractions such as the French Market, Bourbon Street, Harrah’s Casino and the Aquarium of the Americas are within easy walking distance. The Garden District area is mostly residential, and while we at FrenchQuarter.

The French Quarter is a melting pot of French, Spanish, Cajun and Creole influences that all add up to a very American neighborhood. Born as a French territory in 1718 and raised by the Spanish until the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the French Quarter today reflects and embraces the diversity of the U.S.A.

Parking in the French Quarter is often hard to find and always expensive. If the hotel offers parking, take it. Public lots are just as expensive and not as secure. Street parking is a gamble, and many a vacation has been ruined by costly parking tickets and towing. Meter Maids are everywhere and take their jobs very seriously. ALWAYS look for signs before parking on a French Quarter street, and if possible just leave the car at home.

The French Quarter is the crown jewel of New Orleans, and as such is heavily patrolled and protected 24 hours a day by the New Orleans Police Department. While crime is very low in the neighborhood, common sense is a necessity when traveling in any large and unfamiliar city. Be sure to carry a map of the area to avoid wandering off of the beaten path, and use extra care at night to stay where people are.

The city of New Orleans is not required to close its bars at any particular time. This means that a bar may stay open around-the-clock, 24 hours a day, and many in the French Quarter do just that. Not all bars serve all night, many close at 2 a.m., 4 a.m. or 6 a.m., or simply whenever the last customer finally staggers home. Most bars enforce an “18 to enter, 21 to drink” law at the door, although many choose to require all patrons to be 21 to enter.

native New Orleanians know, asking for a “go-cup” anywhere else in the country simply produces blank stares. In the French Quarter, getting a go-cup and transferring your drink from glass to plastic to take it outside on the way to the next bar is a ritual and a tradition.

A little bit of Mardi Gras lasts all year long on Bourbon Street. Beads, boas and general revelry are condoned and even encouraged. Contrary to popular belief, public nudity is not legal anywhere in New Orleans, but that doesn’t stop some of the more intoxicated visitors. For a more genteel, civilized French Quarter experience, simply stay off of Bourbon Street. There are another 20 historic, charming and fun streets to explore, after all!

That’s up to you. If you have a car in New Orleans or went there with someone who does, great. Otherwise, we can help you with phone numbers or cab companies or you can walk (it’s a little over 2 miles).

No : Too many students have been disappointed by this formula: they expected to live within a French family and finally found themselves with a room to let, too many constraints and too little contacts. Students who prefer more comfortable accommodation can book a hotel room and choose our non-resident formula. We can help with booking.

Transfer students must first send an unofficial copy of their transcripts to the engineering advising staff. This is in addition to the official transcript you had your college/s send to the UCSC Admissions Office. The staff will evaluate what credit you will get toward the major and contact you about what classes you should be taking in your first quarter on campus. You cannot enroll in any courses for the major on campus until this has been done.

For example: You can find the brewery Gösswein on nr 91722 Arberg-Mörsach. Mörsach is a part of the city Arberg, so you can find under "location" "Arberg-Mörsach" and in the field "brewplace (quarter/district)" supplementary "Mörsach". The result is that this brewery isn't only mentioned in "A" as "Arberg" but also in "M" as "Mörsach". By this way it's more easy to find a brewery.

Interested gardeners met in November 1999 to discuss applying to the city for a Neighborhood matching grant to cover the costs of designing a garden in Magnuson Park. A Small and Simple, $10,000 grant was applied for under the name of the Magnuson Gardens Coalition. As part of the grant requirement, gardeners pledged volunteer time (in-kind match) to match the dollars of the grant. The grant was awarded to the group in March 2000 and the process of community outreach and garden design began.

You can also encourage your cat to stay in your garden by making it as interesting as possible so he won't want to leave. Some tips for interesting garden design can be found in our Cats and gardens leaflet (Leaflet will be delivered as a PDF file), which is available for download.

Hotels in the USA are relatively cheap and they have some lovely 'themed' hotels at the Disneyworld resort, for which some good package deals do exist. However, when considering do bear in mind that if you rent a villa you will have a whole house to yourself. If you stay in a hotel you will have a room with two double beds, a bathroom and possibly a kitchenette. Good value in theory but you won't think so when your children wake up at 3.a.
