Can you walk around the French Quarter?
Can you walk around the French Quarter? The Quarter is very small and the general rule is to stay in the area that is closest to the river from Bourbon St, not to wander past Dumaine after dark (because it's very residential and quiet and there is not a lot of other pedestrian traffic), and to avoid the first couple of blocks of Bourbon.
