Frenchmen Street

Frenchmen Street is a street in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood with music venues, restaurants, and bars spread across three blocks between Esplanade Avenue and St. Claude Avenue. The area features numerous entertainment spots and local businesses that line the route.

The street was named after six French men who were executed following an uprising after France transferred Louisiana to Spain. This event occurred after the Seven Years' War and marks an important moment in the region's past.

The street hosts live performances where musicians play jazz, blues, and other music for locals and visitors alike. You will find performers both inside the venues and on the sidewalks, creating an open musical community.

The location is easy to walk around and has parking areas as well as public transportation nearby. Plan to visit in the evening if you want to catch live music performances at the venues.

The Louisiana Music Factory here holds an extensive collection of albums connected to musicians from the state. This shop is a key spot for anyone interested in exploring the local music history and artists.
