As his name indicates, it was the residence of the maternal family of Edgar Degas, the famous French Impressionist painter whose mother was a New Orleans Creole. The painter stayed there during a trip in 1872-1873 and painted 18 paintings, including the famous Cotton office in New Orleans at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Pau. For lovers, imagine sleeping in his own room, breathing the same atmosphere and who knows, maybe still some genius here or there who waits for you… This majestic residence, typical of New Orleans of the th century, has a large quiet courtyard illuminated in the evening, for the greatest pleasure of the guests. The comfortable and spacious rooms are located on the two floors of the house. All are different with vintage furniture. The most majestic room is named «Estelle», with its balcony overlooking the beautiful Esplanade Avenue, adorned with its bicentennial oak-nests. You can also enjoy a guided tour of the places with Degas's great nièce rear! A charming address for a trip over time.

This is a historic space that I've attended events at and it also operates as a bed and breakfast. The noted French artist, Edgar Degas, lived here and produced some of his art here completing 18 paintings and 4 drawings before moving back to Paris. This is the only remaining home and studio of Degas who lived here for only five months when he stayed here with his mother's family during 1872 to 1873. It is a nice space for an event and it looks like it would also be an interesting place to stay at if you wanted a bed and breakfast experience. Overall this is certainly a nice spot to visit if you're in the area.

Tried to go to the degas house when I got a city pass and was instructed to call. All I got when I called 3 different times was “call you back later”

Never got a call back later

Was super annoyed by this and seems a great way to get out of a partnership deal.

We did the walking tour, which included a video, house walkthrough and then short walk through the nearby neighborhood. It was interesting to learn about Degas’ time in New Orleans, about the home and area. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was a great host.

Ample parking, historical venue, quaint and charming building! We had the pleasure of DJing and completed a Wedding Videography package at Degas House for Jesse & Jessica October 2023 and it was a blast!

There was a little issue with the string lights near the dance floor but we had some uplights that helped remedy the situation.

Pennywell Events decorated perfectly and dressed up Degas House outdoor area so well. The ceremony and reception were a hit. One improvement to the ceremony area outdoors, in the future, is to turn off the camera chirp/alarm. Otherwise, it was beautiful, peaceful and a very celebratory evening.

We look forward to many more events later this year.

We stayed in the Jeanne Garret Room, the house itself is a beautiful building, the room however.... the bathroom has had it's best time, so bad that one of the little tiles on the floor kept sticking on my foot when exiting the bathroom. When I wanted to take a shower, I almost lost my balance because the whole bathtub was loose. The airco was no luxury with the tempreratures at the time off our stay but we couldn't sleep from the racket the airco made. We where there for two nights, after the second night we had no breakfast, we were the only people in the house and the office was closed because it was Sunday, nobody there to help us out. We did make a mistake to not try to adress the manager by phone but we were on a tight shedule.
That room didn't enhaced our experience of New Orleans at all.

The location however is great.
