Had the pleasure of meeting a truly unique family on my bike tour today! They’re from St. Martin, a beautiful island with an Afro-French-Dutch culture. It’s always such a joy to connect with people from all around the world, and this family reminded me of the deep cultural ties between New Orleans and the French Caribbean colonies.

From the vibrant music and food to the shared history, it’s clear that the roots of the French Caribbean run through our streets here in New Orleans. Every tour is a reminder of how culture and history bring us together, no matter where we’re from.

Grateful for these moments of connection and for the chance to share our rich heritage with such an inspiring family. 🌎🚲

Last time I was in San Francisco I had an amazing experience with exploring the city. They had a tour named the Heart of the City…the same name as my signature tour here in New Orleans! I had to book it. The guide, Josh, was phenomenal. He was here in New Orleans and he looked us up! I love the connections that you make when traveling. On your journey remember that the true treasure isn’t gold, but the friendships that you make!

Flambeaux Bicycle Tours is located on the edge of the French Quarter. North Rampart Street is named because of the fortifications that ran along the edge of the original city of New Orleans. On the other side of the fortification was a brickyard owned by the Company of the Indies that later became a sugar cane plantation. The last person to own the plantation was Claude Treme. Subdivided in the 1810’s it would become the first free community of color in the United States.

From this bourgeoning faubourg our Francophone ancestors developed Jazz, social movements, and culinary magic. This travel guide is designed to help you explore these facets of the neighborhood. This simple guide is designed to help you encounter the food, culture, and story of the Treme. Here are our recommendations:

Did y’all see a guy riding around the French Quarter playing a trumpet today? His name is . One of my favorite things about working in tourism is the array of people one gets to meet in this line of work.

Hailing all the way from the Netherlands, Hans delighted us and the Quarter with his talent. Hats off to you my friend!
