		The cafes, hotels and restaurants of the French Quarter today maintain a distinct joie de vivre befitting the Quarter's heritage.
		Landmarks in the French Quarter include the venerated Notre-Dame-des-Victoires church, where Sunday mass is celebrated in French, and the offices of the French Consulate.

	French Quarter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The old French peaked roofs were replaced with flat tiled ones, and now-banned wooden siding with fire-resistant stucco, painted in the pastel hues fashionable at the time.
		The French Quarter, like most of the parts of town developed before the late 19th century, was one of the areas to remain substantially dry, since it was built on dry land that predated New Orleans' levee systems and sits 5 feet (1.5 metres) above sea level.
		The Quarter largely escaped the looting and violence after the storm highlighted by large national and international media outlets; nearly all the fine antique and art shops in the French Quarter, for example, were untouched.

		French citizens were among the first to found a large and successful banking institution, which, however, had a somewhat tragic episode in its history.
		San Francisco is often referred to as "The Paris of America." The French people have certainly left a noticeable and enduring impress upon its first century of history.
