They may not pronounce the names of streets the same way, but France and New Orleans have a special relationship that neither time nor storm could tear apart. After Katrina, France focused on helping its long-distance relative through fundraising and donations of art exhibits. We also take you to a French restaurant that has a tale of two trees: one that crashed through it during the hurricane, and another one resting comfortably inside. We visit a very French hotel as it tells a story about the crown, and later, stop by a refuge made for Napoleon during his exile. And though it bears its name, find out why the “French Quarter” really isn’t French at all.
