This bike ride travels through one of the most interesting and popular areas in the city of New Orleans and all of the country. The area is the Vieux Carre district, which is now known at the French Quarter. The area is the site of a 300-year-old neighborhood that is unique and very historical. Take your time and read the historical markers and take in the sites. There are lots of good places to eat and rest as you tour the area. Riding during the morning hours on weekends will result in less traffic and crowds and better riding conditions.
