Ok, New Orleans is not part of the Mississippi Gulf Coast but it’s a great place to visit while you are staying here. A drive of between one hour and one hour and a half will get you to the French Quarter. Many people stay with us at Christies on the Mississippi Gulf Coast because the cost is lower, a greater assortment of properties, and our beach.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is the most popular destination for people living in the New Orleans area as we have the beaches and the drive is short. Soon, Amtrak will operate trains from several Gulf Coast cities to New Orleans.

There are far too many things to do in New Orleans to describe here. We have included a link to the official City of New Orleans Visitors Center. Click here
