This city in Mississippi, with a population of almost 500,000 (1.3 million as a metropolitan area) is considered to be the least American of all the US cities. The former capital of the state of Louisiana refuses to follow trends and continues to live by its old traditions. French, Spanish and Creole influences are just as clearly apparent as the African traditions of the former slaves of the cotton fields of Louisiana. Sights include: Audubon Park, Congo Square, French Quarter (Vieux Carré), Royal Street, New Orleans Museum of Art, Superdome (Football Stadium of the New Orleans Saints)
