Everything we read told us not to go alone. They told us not to go at night. Brochures admonished to always enter with a group of people (safety in numbers). Don't wander astray! Curious warnings indeed for St Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans.

Stunning, overgrown and enchanting Victorian cemetery. Tree-lined avenues, tombs, mausoleums and grave-stones tumbling with ivy and history. Stroll around the winding pathways and find the famous residents.
