New Orleans — Celeste's Eight Knots

  • 8 stops
  • ~2 h 30
  • 2.2 km

Sofia is eleven and finds the diary of Celeste Dubois, a made-up character who lived in 1855. Celeste's dad steered a steamboat on the great river. She hid eight sailor's knots in the French Quarter. Look for them among iron balconies, bells, long market roofs and an old coin factory. There are eight stops and about three kilometers on foot, for nearly three hours of play.
