Image History
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. The fleur de lis is seen just about
everywhere you go in our city.
"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
