St Vincent de Paul Cemetery

As New Orleans cemeteries go, this one feels completely off the tourist radar. And yet, it's as atmospheric and gloomy as any other 'city of the dead.' Be on the lookout for inscriptions written in French and a slew of immigrant names encompassing émigrés from across Europe. Take a taxi or drive out here.
