Louisiana is live on Travelog with two destinations. New Orleans' French Quarter (the Vieux Carré Historic District) has been a National Historic Landmark since 1965. Poverty Point, the state's actual UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 2014 under criterion (iii), sits roughly 300 miles away in rural northeast Louisiana, not in New Orleans, an honest distinction worth understanding before planning a trip around one alone.
Louisiana's two live destinations tell genuinely different stories, one a famous, walkable historic urban district, the other a remote, ancient earthworks site most visitors have never heard of, both covered honestly below.
