The French Quarter Festival One of the best preserved historical neighborhoods in America, the French Quarter has such a strong and lasting Spanish and French influence that you may really feel like you're visiting a foreign country. Occupying the same six by thirteen block area laid out in 1722, it's the only intact French Colonial and Spanish settlement remaining in the United State Laissez les bon temps rouler or Let the good times roll — is exemplified by Bourbon Street's almost 24 hour party atmosphere. Bourbon Street in the French Quarter is the best known party street in New Orleans.
