Time Off
The colourful history of the region together with the influence of many different cultures has over the centuries led to New Orleans evolving into a vibrant city, full of lively people famous for their festive sprit. This light-hearted spirit is summed up in the local motto 'aissez les bons temps rouler' (let the good times roll). The city also hosts what has to be North America's most famous annual street festival at Mardi Gras. Along with festivities, the town offers many other attractions from the beautiful old Spanish-style colonial buildings of the French Quarter, to the ultra modern state-of-the-art Riverwalk shopping complex built along the east bank of the Mississippi.
