"Shep is showing Downtown French Quarter and it is looking very good! My heart sings that those wonderful old buildings are still standing :)" The ancients had the wisdom to build on the high ground...

The original, old part of the city was built on the island in the swamp. As they needed to expand the city, they built levees and drained land, but the old section is on the original firm ground
