Where you sleep
Camp Street and Euterpe Street frame Coliseum Square, a park of enormous live oaks lined by tall columned houses with double galleries. Guesthouses here are those houses, usually six to twelve rooms with high ceilings and ceiling fans. Jackson Square is thirty nine minutes on foot, and the St. Charles streetcar runs three blocks away; its fare is paid on board and stays outside the package.
Rooms, classes and suppers counted in the figure
- Five nights in a guesthouse in a columned house facing the little park on Camp Street, a room for two, with any nightly charge the guesthouse adds to every guest already inside the figure near Camp and Euterpe.
- A Creole cooking demonstration with lunch at the table, in a cooking school's own kitchen.
- Entry to two plantation museums on the River Road west of the city, about an hour each way by your own car.
- A written Lower Garden District summer week itinerary naming the guesthouse and every operator, their addresses near Camp and Euterpe and beyond, and their own cancellation terms.
Left for you: the road, the taxes, the valet
- Getting to New Orleans and back. From the Atlanta office the drive is about 470 miles; how you travel is yours to choose and arrange.
- Louisiana and New Orleans hotel taxes and the per-room nightly charge set by the state and city, both collected by the hotel. The quote shows them in dollars.
- Meals beyond those named above, and tips for staff.
- Parking. Hotels in the Quarter and downtown usually charge for it by the night.
- Streetcar and taxi fares in the city.

Months this stay suits, and months it fights
June, July and August only, and the price is the reason: the federal lodging figure for the city drops to its yearly low in those months, and five nights cost about what four would in spring. The honest part is the weather. Afternoons are hot and humid, rain comes most days, and hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. The week is built around mornings and long lunches, with the afternoon left to the guesthouse.
The $455 per person for the Lower Garden District summer week is figured on June: five nights at $138 a room per night, the federal lodging figure for New Orleans in June, halved for two people, plus $110 per person for the two named pieces.
Confirmed by each supplier once you say yes
The two plantation museums confirm the day and the entry; the drive west along the river is yours, about an hour each way. The cooking school confirms the date of the demonstration. The guesthouse confirms the room and its air conditioning.
Nothing near Camp and Euterpe is held until you accept the quote.
