Considered the "Heart of New Orleans," the French Quarter has been one of the most historical and instantly recognizable locations in the United States since its founding over 300 years ago.

Established by the French in 1718, the French Quarter is also known as Vieux Carre or "Old Square" as it was the original city center under French rule.

The original buildings were all wood in the French Colonial style, but they were destroyed by fires in 1788 and 1794. New Orleans had been transferred to Spain by then, and the Spanish authorities rebuilt with an eye to fire protection.

This helped give the French Quarter a more Spanish appearance. Spanish building codes used plaster on exterior walls and fire retardant roofing, like slate and tile. In addition, many of the buildings were built around a distinctive walled courtyard in the Spanish style.

The tropical colors, flat roofs, and intricate ironwork were Spanish touches brought from across the Atlantic. However, when mass-produced cast iron was introduced in the 1800s, the city really began to take on its lacy appearance.
A walk through the French Quarter reveals many plaques indicating the old Spanish names for the streets honoring historical figures from the Spanish era.

The city is a delightful blend of Spanish, French, and Creole cultures, with its food, music, and adoption of European customs.


The perfect gift for wooden jigsaw puzzlers and New Orleans fans this traditional wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done time and again. Our wooden jigsaw puzzle artists have included many space-themed, shaped whimsy wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces that match the subject of the image, and we have integrated them in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

Please Note: The original image for this wooden jigsaw puzzle was painted on canvas and so you may see brush strokes on the image.

Dianne Parks

Dianne Parks, a Louisiana-based artist, is renowned for her vivid, expressive paintings that capture the essence of Southern life, particularly the vibrant landscapes and culture of New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf Coast. Working primarily in acrylics and oils, she skillfully blends realism with bold color and dynamic movement, creating scenes that are visually striking and feel familiar and alive. Parks draws on her deep connection to the region, using her art to celebrate its bayous, architecture, and the unique character of its people.

After a thriving career in advertising and graphic design, Parks boldly transitioned to fine art, dedicating herself to it full-time. Her strong sense of composition and storytelling, honed in advertising, now infuses her art with a unique narrative quality. Her work has been widely exhibited and collected across the country, earning her a loyal following. She is a signature member of the Louisiana Watercolor Society and has been featured in multiple art publications, solidifying her place as a respected voice in the Southern art community.

Her ability to infuse each piece with a profound sense of place and emotion distinguishes Parks. Whether it’s the rhythm of a jazz band on Frenchmen Street or the stillness of a marsh at dusk, her paintings resonate with mood and memory. Through her art, Dianne Parks captures the look of Louisiana and its very soul, inviting the audience to connect with the emotional essence of the region.
