Dallas Road Trip | New Orleans' Lazy and Relaxed Charm

🌳 Oak Alley Plantation: Southern Plantation Under a Century-Old Canopy Oak Alley Plantation is a quintessential Louisiana Southern plantation. With 28 majestic Southern live oaks lining the front and back of the main house, they form a 240-meter-long shaded avenue. This verdant tunnel feels like a gallery where time stands still, offering stunning visual effects. 🌸 French Quarter: Retro Iron Balconies The French Quarter is filled with exquisite French iron balconies. These multi-story iron galleries have become a signature sight of New Orleans. Lush greenery hangs from the old iron railings, and every red-brick building exudes a European classical charm. I highly recommend the steel orchid balcony building at the intersection of Royal Street and Dumaine Street—it's incredibly photogenic. Strolling through these quiet alleys, you can easily capture Instagram-worthy shots. ⛪ St. Louis Cathedral & Jackson Square: Iconic Landmarks Standing in Jackson Square, you can see the towering triple spires of St. Louis Cathedral. The antique shops on Royal Street display vintage jewelry and war relics in their windows, creating a hazy, oil-painting-like effect through the glass. 🌅 Mississippi River & Steamboat Natchez: Dawn and Dusk River Views Woldenberg Park along the Mississippi River is an open riverside green space with walking paths and public art, offering excellent views of the city and the river. The Moonwalk along the riverbank allows you to see the opposite shore and the city skyline. The most eye-catching sight on the river is the vintage steamboat Natchez, which cruises back and forth daily. You can always capture its retro scene with its white paddle wheels waving. #RomanticLifeRecorder #DallasLife #NewOrleans #FamilyFriendlySpots
