French Quarter


17/32


- New Orleans, LA


18/32

Royal Street (Spanish: Calle Real; French: Rue Royale) isa street in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is one of the oldeststreets in the city, dating from the French Colonial era, andis most well known for the antique shops, art galleries, andstately hotels that line its sides as it runs through NewOrleans' French Quarter and tourist district. Royal Street isthe best known street in the French Quarter besides Bourbon Street.

The street starts at Canal Street (above Canal Street the equivalent street becomes

Uptown New Orleans' St. Charles Avenue). It runs down through the French Quarter,Faubourg Marigny, Bywater, and Lower 9th Ward neighborhoods to the Jackson Barracksat the border of St. Bernard Parish. The Industrial Canal forms a gap in the streetbetween the Bywater and Lower 9th Ward neighborhoods.

The most famous section of Royal street is the portion in the upper French Quarter,known for its scores of opulent antique shops and art galleries. Despite its orderly nature,it is located only one block south of the party atmosphere of Bourbon Street. The pricesat its art shops and antique stores tend to be very high; indeed, it has been listed as one

of the most expensive places to shop in the world. The finer antique shops display notsimply items that are old, but such rare items as pieces of fine art furniture owned by roy-alty of past centuries. Although such pieces are out of the budget of all but a few visitors,window shopping along Royal Street is a popular pastime for visitors, especially artlovers, even if they are not buying.

The portion of Royal Street between St Louis and St Ann streets is closed to traffic everyafternoon to create a pedestrian mall. During this time, numerous street performers set upin the street. Though the quality of performers ranges widely, some of the best up andcoming jazz bands in New Orleans can be seen here regularly.

Royal Street also includes restaurants, ranging from the upscale Brennan's throughmidrange and budget options, as well as luxury hotels such as the Omni Royal Orleansand the Hotel Monteleone. Below Jackson Square, Royal becomes more of a mix of resi-dential and neighborhood businesses.

Despite catastrophic damage in most of the city caused by the failure of the Federal leveesystem during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Royal Street was spared by the great floodother than the section in the Lower 9th Ward, as it is in the naturally higher ground nearthe Mississippi River levee. Flooding was only minor and restricted to the street whilemost sidewalks and stores remained free of floodwaters.
