Orleans
From the iron lace of the French Quarter to the moss-draped oaks of the Garden District — every scene, mapped and contextualized.
Featured Locations
A preview of the neighborhoods and iconic spots covered in this guide.
The French Quarter
Interview with the Vampire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, NCIS: New Orleans
The most filmed neighborhood in the city. Wrought-iron balconies and gas-lit streets that have doubled for 18th-century Paris and modern-day crime dramas alike.
Garden District
Dracula 2000, The Skeleton Key, 12 Years a Slave
Antebellum mansions and live-oak canopies. The contrast between beauty and history makes it irresistible to period-film directors.
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1
Easy Rider, Double Jeopardy, Live and Let Die
Above-ground tombs dating back centuries. The oldest cemetery in the city and one of the most iconic filming locations in Louisiana.
Pontchartrain Hotel
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Glory Road
Old-world glamour on St. Charles Avenue. The rooftop bar alone has appeared in more films than most entire neighborhoods.
