Finding Monte Blanc House on the internet was a sheer stroke of luck! After reading lots of mixed reviews about hotels in The French Quarter we arrived at Monte Blanc House with some trepidation. We need not have worried as we were welcomed with open arms by James Garner, the owner. What a little gem! Tucked away in the Faubourg Marigny, next to it's more well known neighbour, this pretty little district is a well kept secret, used by many locals, including Nicholas Cage, who has receently bought a house here. Our suite was, to say the least impressive, with much thought going into the decor and comfort of the guests.Sumptuous French Decadence would be the theme! We were given the freedom of the house to use as our own, and that included the well stacked fridge and it's contents!! Being within easy walking distance of the action, but away from the noise made this the perfect spot. James was full of information about places to eat that are tucked away from the tired touristy places...
