A visit to the

vacationsmadeeasy.com/NewOrleansLA/'> historic 'French Quarter' in New Orleans is a magical experience for those who appreciate the Creole culture and the related arts that go with it. While there, travelers are wise to make a stop at the Germaine Cazenave Wells Mardi Gras Museum. The concentration of New Orleans history and culture that can be found within the museum's walls warrants the cost of entry, and then some!

 

The museum is going to appeal to the type of visitor who likes to get a real good understanding of everything in the city's history and with regards to cultural significance. Their guided tour is not only thorough but rather impressive. At times, guests are actually allowed to go behind doors that are typically closed to the public, to see the previous year's parade floats and costumes. Some guests have even reported being able to try on a few costumes and hats! The tour only takes about 20 minutes, so it's for almost anybody who has the attention to spare.

The Germaine Cazenave Wells Museum can be found in town right above the Hurricane Katrina Museum and both have a combined entry fee, which is super-convenient. Another great way to look at this potential stop along your way is that you can stomp around indoors for a bit as a way to escape the heat. Visitors coming to the Bayou Country in the Summertime will be wise to consider this for an affordable and informative pitstop should the weather become too hot.
