This area is a National Historic Landmark, and among its many attractions are Jackson Square, Bourbon Street, as well as many hotels and restaurants. Jackson Square is a historic park that's home to St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continuously operating cathedral in the United States. Bourbon Street is the most famous street in the French Quarter, particularly well known for its many bars and nightclubs.
