New Orleans & Louisiana Holidays


usa
Holidays to New Orleans and Louisiana offer an enthralling blend of history, live music, captivating cuisine and a unique cultural mix.

At the heart of New Orleans is the historic French Quarter, filled with charming architecture, peaceful courtyards and the legendary nightlife of Bourbon Street. Add in some live jazz, jubilant festivals, tasty Creole food and a sprinkling of Voodoo myths and you’ll begin to see what makes the city so intriguing.

Explore beyond New Orleans: Head to Lafayette in Cajun Country to learn about the history and way of life of the Cajuns and discover the tranquil bayous. Travel to Plantation Country for an insight into a bygone era, when the glamour of these beautiful homes contrasted starkly with the ugly reality of slavery. Take a day trip or stay the night at a historic mansion, each with its own unique story and mystique.

Trailfinders offers a range of New Orleans holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore the Deep South on a fly drive or discover New Orleans on a multi centre holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
