    Gilded Grit: Women of the Vieux Carré Walking Tour

    Powered by Viator

    New Orleans, LA

    The French Quarter has always belonged to its women—painted or pious, dangerous or divine, sometimes all at once. We reveal the fiercely complex women who shaped the heart of New Orleans. Their names echo like hymns and hexes: Baroness Pontalba, Elizabeth Werlein, Madame LaLaurie, Marie Laveau, Saint Frances Cabrini, & Rose Nicaud. The Baroness de Pontalba, who stamped her initials—and her vision—into the architecture of Jackson Square. Her story is one of defiance and civic rebirth. The preservationist fire of Elizabeth Werlein - this woman's fire saved rather than destroyed. Madame LaLaurie's horrors told not through haunted legend, but the cruelty of racial violence cloaked in wealth and elegance laid bare. Marie Laveau—Voodoo Queen, healer, mystic, and more. Rose Nicaud, once-enslaved, she carved out a life selling coffee —one of the city’s first Black, female entrepreneurs. Women who didn’t just live in New Orleans. They built her, saw her broken, and resurrected her.
