Overview

Join this two-and-a-half hour journey through 300 years of naughty New Orleans history. Begin in the 1700s, when French authorities shipped women from brothels and prisons to Ursuline nuns for 'correction', but many instead lit their red lanterns in back alleys and created an expansive pleasure district known far beyond city limits. Then, skip ahead a century or two and enter Storyville's palaces of sin where glitzy madams flaunted diamonds.
  • Learn the history of the vice and red light districts in New Orleans
  • Explore French Market, the most dangerous city years back
  • Listen to the story of Southern Decadence at the Golden Lantern
  • Visit May Baily’s Place, the first legal brothel in New Orleans
