For shopping or just a casual stroll, no place in New Orleans is quite like Magazine Street, one of the city’s main thoroughfares. The owner, Katrina Greer, opened the shop in 2015 after she was unable to find French language books for her own children. The store now has one of the largest selections of French children’s books in the United States. It also hosts story hours and birthday parties as well as weekly French classes for tots, all in an expansive, light-infused space that is furnished, naturellement , à la Francais. 3811 Magazine Street, thefrenchlibrary.com
