Cemetery offering a visit with a guide to discover the supposed tomb of Marie Laveau, easily recognizable.

Built away from the city for fear of the spread of yellow fever, it is the oldest in the city. The graves are raised because this part of New Orleans is below sea level. You will find there the supposed tomb of Marie Laveau, high priestess voodoo, buried there in 1881. His grave is easily recognizable. You will see many of the "X's" left behind by tourists in the past. It is because of this type of vandalism that it is now mandatory to visit the cemetery with a guide.

D'après les guides aucune prêtresse vaudoo n'est enterrée ici et le dépôt d'offrandes est considéré comme de la dégradation de bien public. Sachez le, n'y déposez pas de collier en plastique, petite voiture, tabac... Cela les exaspère au plus au point, surtout quand les gens partent avec des bouts de tombes !!
Pour le reste, sympatique petit cimetière qui nepose aucun problème de sécurité, possède de nombreuses tombes intéressante et se visite en peu de temps. S'il fallait n'en voir qu'un car votre séjour est rapide, allez-y!
Se visite avec ou sans guide.
