Le Jardin

Love popping into Le Jardin whenever in New Orleans to check out the latest artists and uncover unique gifts for friends and family. First stumbled in after Swamp Dog & Friends consolidated to Le Jardin and I was searching for another print to add to our collection in our dining room and ended up discovering more local artists. Absolutely loved seeing some of the art still drying in the back area and the ability to find a gift (for family and friends or just us) so unique and special to New Orleans. Prices vary but the quality is there if you opt for a painting or other piece opposed to a print.

As a woman I would NOT recommend coming here alone. Like other reviewers said here and on Google - the business owner has anger problems and was extremely aggressive. Would not be surprised if he became physical with someone at some point.

Lovely shop with lots of local art to fit all moods/decors.I like to stop in this shop when I'm in the area to see what local artists they are carrying. Some items are originals and some are prints, but the prices reflect the difference.The staff is always friendly but lets you browse. And the shop is chockfull of every sort of local art that might interest you.

Mr. B! This review is long overdue!We stopped in to browse his shop/gallery and absolutely fell in love with his space (and him). Mr. B is kind, creative, smart and hospitable. His merchandise is gorgeous and ranges from jewelry, paintings, mugs, etc - which is all handcrafted and one of a kind pieces. My two friends brought a couple of pieces of jewelry and I brought the cutest mug with a face crafted on it. it's adorable!I will be back to shop more when I return to NOLA! See you soon Mr. B.Love, your Boston friends!

I fell in love with this little cute local art store while on Royal street in the French-quarters New Orleans. I alway say, when you love art, art always has a way of finding you. I love local art and this place has plenty of it. It truly captures the true essence of New Orleans and it's culture. The guy who assisted me was very welcoming and helpful, the energy and ambience was very comforting while I was on my mission on finding the perfect piece for my travels art collection of local art work. I must say I left inspired and satisfied and my choice was Marie LAVEAU the voodoo queen of New Orleans.

This is my absolute favorite store in all of New Orleans. Everytime I go back to New Orleans I come to this store. A lot of the artwork and pieces in the store are one of a kind. If you purchase something here you'll probably won't find it somewhere else. That's really saying something especially since every couple of feet there's a store that selling the exact same tourist thing. The store itself is absolutely beautiful. It has a courtyard and workshop in the back filled with all kinds of items that'll take hours to look through. The only problem is that they keep odd hours. I remember going back to the store twice in one day when they were supposed to be open and weren't. It didn't stop me from trying though. It's always worth going back to.

WHERE DO I BEGIN? IT'S A PLEASURE TO WRITE THIS REVIEW. I found this jewel that I believe have been around for 15 years, and it was the highlight of my visit this go-round. Having family here, we visit a few times a year, and each time I'm looking for the best of New Orleans. This definitely makes the list! If you say you love art, you must come. I treated myself to some treats, but wish I could've purchased so much more. Adorned with the work of local artists, there's no way to walk away empty handed. I found this store on Yelp, and was so disappointed I couldn't get through the initial day that I planned, with all of the street closures due to Mardi Gras parades. But believe me when I say that I'm glad I pushed through.

I love to visit here every time I visit NOLA. They always have a local changing collection of varied artists to meet many of your art desires.Side note, the store next to them is also owned by the same group, so the style is more refined inside, but with still great choices.If you need something for yourself or someone else, you can find it here as it is much better than another "been here" novelty shirt.

Quick shout out....this is my 100th review!! Whoop whoop!I specifically chose to write about Le Jardin for this review since it was such a positive experience. I encountered Le Jardin first two years ago on a trip to NOLA. The many pieces of locally crafted art captivated me then and have left me longing for a specific piece of art that I saw at this shop - hand crafted bowls and places with the water meter symbol. It was a beautiful shop with great items then and it still is now. During a recent trip back down to this area I had it on my agenda to find this shop and buy these bowls I'd been searching for. Thankfully I found it! I was able to get my bowls, as well as some other gifts for friends.It's a beautiful shop in an amazing space that features unique architecture and both indoor and outdoor selling space. They have jewelry, ceramic work, magnets, bigger pieces of art, and all other sorts of things. It seems predominately locally produced and a unique alternative to the tacky mass produced gift shops you might find. Because they feature real art and not mass produced items, some items are a bit more expensive but they also have tons that is under $20. Besides if you're looking for a unique and quality item to remind you of your trip - Le Jardin is sure to deliver!Service was good during my visit. I had a dog with me and the sales lady allowed me to bring my pup in. She also very nicely wrapped up my breakables and put them in a nice bag with a handle. Very pleased with what this business offers customers and the quality of service the sales people provide!

This is a fabulous gallery/art/gift shop in NOLA. As a bonus, there is an excellent violinist who often plays very near. There were so many wonderful items by local artists - outside of the typical paintings, there were magnets, bottle openers, ornaments, jewelry, trivets, etc. all hand crafted. It's definitely worth a stop.
