Dauphine House B&B - New Orleans, LA (The Heart of Marigny)

1830 Dauphine St.
New Orleans, LA 70116

            Just a few blocks away from the French Quarter, you will find the small neighborhood of Faubourg Marigny. Established in the 1800's by a Creole millionaire Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville, this area was a known spot where wealthy Creole men would provide a place to stay for their quadroon mistresses and their offspring. Situated in what is now simply known as New Marigny, stands a small bed and breakfast with quite an extensive guest list, even when the home appears to be empty!
            The Dauphine House Bed and Breakfast is the perfect place to stay if you want easy access to the French Quarter, while still feeling as though you are off the beaten path. Built in 1860, this small inn has been through several different hands with no valid reports of significant deaths or incidents occurring. However, this does not stop the Dauphine House from being haunted. In fact, this home is said to contain several spirits; as many as five!
