Where is a good and cheap place to park when walking through the French Quarter?|118493

I have a friend coming down this weekend and she wants to walk through the French Quarter. On my own trips I used to walk from my Dardy_s house but she no longer lives close by. Where can we park that is cheap or atleast safe? We don_t mind having to walk a while.
Thanks!

  • Anywhere you pay to park will be safe. Cheap isn_t so easy and you will probably have to pay about $10 for _all day_. That is a LOT better than getting a ticket (min $20) or being towed (min $100).

    I usually park in the Canal Place parking garage (300 block of Canal Street). There are several parking lots on Decatur Street between Jackson Square and Bienville Street. You can also use the lot on the river side of the flood wall behind Cafe du Monde (go to Saint Peter _ Decatur and turn toward the river).

    Hope you have a great time!

  • park by the Riverwalk Marketplace on Convention Center Boulevard.

    it_s not cheap $8 -$10 but they always have people walking around and it is safe.





  • NOLA Guy_s answer is good...

    Another suggestion though... you could park at Harrah_s and walk down into the Quarter.
    If you play for 30 minutes then parking is validated (and free.) Although if you lose $20 in slots then its not REALLY free.
    The casinio is nice, though and your friend might want to see it anyway...

    OR you could park uptown and take the streetcar.

    OR Esplanade usually has some on street parking available and that_s real close to the French Market, etc.

    Hope ya_ll have a great time!

  • You can park at Harrahs Casino and if you gamble for 30-60 minutes not sure of exact time but 1hr or less you can get validated for 12 hours of parking and park for free.

    You can park in the Marigny and walk. Other than that you will find lots that charge between $10-20 a day.

  • just park by cafe du monde. Or look for a meter on the street. We get lucky sometimes. Weekends you don_t have to pay!
