St. Louis Cemetery No. 1



During this tour, you will make your way through the historic French Quarter to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, the final resting place of history’s most revered Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau. You will also have the added bonus of visiting Voodoo Authentica and will have the opportunity to purchase Voodoo ‘magic’ potions at Marie Laveau’s Voodoo Shop before heading into the cemetery.

There are three St. Louis Cemeteries in New Orleans, but the oldest existing cemetery in the city is St. Louis Cemetery Number 1. It is still the site of several burials a year. Here you will notice that the cemetery’s graves are above-ground tombs, referred to as “Cities of the Dead” because they resembled small houses and make the cemetery look like a city in itself.

You will be accompanied by a licensed tour guide who will share with you the fascinating history of this cemetery and tell you all about the Voodoo culture of New Orleans.
