Image History
Fleur de Lis, St. Rita Catholic Church, New Orleans.
The fleur de lis is an iris. It is best known for having been borne upon the royal arms of France. In addition, it referred to the French royal family, the French flag (before 1789), and the French nation or government. New Orleans was founded by Jean Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, who founded La Nouvelle Orleans in 1718 and named it in honor of the Regent of France, Philippe, Duc d'Orleans.
"Everytime I close my eyes blowing that trumpet
of mine – I look right into the heart of good old New Orleans
– it has given me something to live for." –Louis
Armstrong
