What to do and see in St. Roch, Louisiana (LA): The Best Things to do
Laissez les bons temps rouler! In New Orleans the good times are perpetually rolling down Bourbon Street, which, thanks to the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration, has quite a party animal reputation. Once you’ve soaked up the scenery of the historic French Quarter, tour the elegant Garden District and meet the colorful characters of Frenchmen Street. Experience the city's supernatural vibe at the Voodoo Museum or by taking a guided ghost or vampire tour through taverns, alleyways, and cemeteries.

Theres a small room just off the altar at St. Roch (who was the patron saint of plague victims) where supplicants leave their part or piece thats been healed, supposedly by the saint. Theres a bizarre collection of such items as eyeballs, crutches, false limbs and organs.

This is an interesting example of a New Orleans cemetery where the remains are interred in vaults above ground because of the high water table. Someone in our group asked the guide why most of the vaults contain the remains of hundreds of individuals. He said sorry to be morbidly detailed but the high temperatures promote rapid decomposition of the bodies and they don’t take up much room.

Bob was a great tour guide, he was thorough and was excellent at being able to balance history with how rum was made currently and in the past. There was definitely plenty of different rums to try, my favorite was the Gingeroo!

Located in an historic building completely refurbished after Hurricane Katrina -- it used to be a po-boy shop with GREAT sandwiches and the place you went to get turtles for your turtle soup recipe. Now it's open, modern, airy and bright. Many food vendors offering a variety of choices -- fresh juices and smoothies, coffee, chicken many different ways, Latin fresh-Mex, Asian (good assortment and Pho, seafood and more! The "more" is a full service bar. Place your order, select a seat, enjoy your meal .. great for solo diners, small groups and families. Outdoor seating is great when the weather is nice ... Good mix of locals and tourists.
