Hey there! I’m in NOLA for the weekend and was curious if you knew any good landmarks to visit in relation to our beloved books. I’m on mobile so I can’t search, sorry if this has been asked!

I do! I’m actually planning on making a better post about it, but for now, since I’m on mobile, all I can give you is:

Gallier House is the flat AR modeled the Rue Royale home of Louis, Lestat, and Claudia. It’s a historic location and they give tours there. Take one! See the Master bedroom! See Claudia’s room!

AR used to live in the garden district. 1239 First St. There is a little plaque about her there now.

Near AR’s garden dist. home is Lafayette Cemetary No. 1. There was a scene or two in IWTV that took place there, but it closes at sunset.

In movie!IWTV, Lestat watches Claudia kill someone right near the Cabildo in Jackson Square. 

I think Louis kills a priest in book!IWTV in the St. Louis cathedral in Jackson Square.

Pointe du Lac plantation was based on Oak Alley plantation. They give tours there. Movie!IWTV was filmed there, too. Destreham plantation was also in movie!IWTV for Pointe du Lac plantation.
