Sin & Salvation Walking Tour
Saints, Sinners, and the Struggle for the Soul of New Orleans
What to Expect
This provocative walking tour examines the sacred and scandalous sides of New Orleans, tracing the lives of madams, nuns, healers, and musicians who shaped the city’s moral landscape. Through historically grounded stories of figures like Josie Arlington, Marie Laveau, Henriette Delille, and Lulu White, the guide connects religion, sex work, race, class, and jazz across real locations from the French Quarter and Storyville to Gallatin Street. The tour begins with a visit to a former brothel-turned-tavern for conversation and optional drinks.
