Things to do after your flight to New Orleans
Once an important port in the slave trade, French-founded New Orleans is as much infused with Afro-Caribbean flair as it is with old European elegance. This strong, mixed heritage seeps through every inch of local life, including the colourful Mardi Gras parades and top-class gastronomy that New Orleans is renowned for. Discover flights to New Orleans and explore a city of diverse culture, a myriad of attractions and a vibrant live-music scene. Try crazy Creole fusion dishes or hearty home-cooked Cajun cuisine, then head to Tremé, an original African-American neighbourhood, for some local history.

Cajun country
