Jackson square is a great place for photos; it is beautiful and gives a feeling of peace. You have a great view of the river, and there are usually street performer and artists around.

Had a great time walking around the square looking at different artists work. Also heard some good jazz out in front of the church. Go at night and see the church lit up, it is very pretty.

Last month we checked out Jackson Square in our whirlwind visit to New Orleans, leading the visitors from the U.K. about. One of the principal destinations was, of course, Jackson Square.

If you are in the French quarter you can't miss it, it is the center of the area. Look for the cathedral. Carriage rides offered on the street side by numerous companies waiting for the opportunity to take you around. Varying artists and entertainers, always a jazz band playing.

Lovely shade trees and sunshine. The park is landscaped beautifully and very clean and neat. It was enjoyable sitting and watching all of the other people enjoying the park

Artists, musicians ...nice to walk around and enjoy. I heard Rodrigues started as a street artist here and now look at what his art is worth. Was fun to see the local artists and the musicians were really good for a sidewalk show
