If you are in New Orleans, this historic public offering is a must. The graves are interesting and if possible, you better visit them because there is so much to learn. It’s actually quite quiet, and you may get lost in time for a while.
Carla gave us a great trip! She explained the type of graves, the burial process and the history of this beautiful garden area cemetery. She visits this place twice a day from Wednesday to Monday and introduces you to the long-term residents of the neighborhood while you walk. Thank you very much for the trip.
Beautiful cemetery full of history! Lots of films and movies have been made here!
Classic New Orleans public offerings, endless rows of monuments, many for two hundred years. The huge brick walls block the view, with four gates and one on each side of the square. If you want to enjoy the creepy witchcraft-style vision at dusk, forget it. Although it should close at 3 o'clock, some gates may be locked at 2:30. Go early or consider walking.
Located in New Orleans' garden district, Lafayette 1 can be reached by tram green line. The cemetery was originally a cemetery for French and other European immigrants, and later became a cemetery for local residents, where families can be seen on the tombstone. These tomb buildings are more distinctive, the tomb is on the ground and has two or three floors. But some of the tombs are lacking in repair and look a bit dilapidated. The cemetery is free to visit.
