New Orleans is a city in Louisiana, in the southern United States, on a wide bend of the Mississippi River. The French founded it in 1718. Then it changed flags several times, before becoming American in 1803. Before the colonists, this land was home to Indigenous Peoples, including the Chitimacha. Their nation, the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana, still lives in the south of the state.

The sights along the route
The route starts from a granite building near the streetcar tracks. It crosses the French Quarter, with its colorful houses and lacy iron balconies. It climbs onto the levee to watch the boats on the river. It passes a cathedral with three towers and goes under the roofs of an old market. You will discover the rest stop by stop.
There are eight stops and about three kilometers on foot, all on flat ground. You need nearly three hours of play, plus your own breaks. The route doesn't return to the starting point and ends near a streetcar stop.
History and culture, lived through play
Every stop tells a piece of history. There are nuns who came from Europe, architects, musicians and riverboat pilots. There are questions about art and houses, riddles, anagrams and little logic puzzles. The questions are designed for children aged 9 and up and for their parents.
You don't need to know everything already. Many answers can be found by looking closely at what is in front of you, others by reasoning together. Always cross at crosswalks with the white walking figure, and cross tracks only at marked crossings. Summers are very hot: bring water and look for the shade of the trees.
An adventure that continues
After the hunt, New Orleans still has plenty to offer families. Near the river there is a big aquarium. A green streetcar runs along an avenue of tall trees to a large park with a zoo.
Along the levee you can stroll to a park with lawns and views of the river. Every neighborhood has its own music and its own story: the next hunt is waiting for you.
