Jazz and Creole Culture Break
The Voyages Guide likes to take you on a journey off the traditional paths. This offer takes you to another America…We will help you discover Louisiana. A unique place, whose history is unknown to everyone, because Louisiana is a piece of France in the United States, in fact the language that is still spoken is “old French” in certain places or with the oldest but the landscape, traditions and history belong to Americans. Come and vibrate in New Orleans with the people of the South who have generosity, a smile and welcome in their hearts… To the rhythm of jazzy tunes and its eclectic music, the soul of Louisiana oscillates between melancholy and cheerfulness… Behind a vast colonial residence and a wide avenue lined with trees, Louisiana boasts a rich past… At the bend of Bourbon Street, in New Orleans, jazz invades the street and everyone starts dancing. Exciting and touching, festive and warm, Louisiana has managed to turn its suffering and sorrow into strength, joy and a saving spirit of sharing.
