Why should you join?

The historic Vieux Carré is now recognized as a treasure, but it is not always treated as such. In fact, with literally millions of visitors visiting here every year now, there seems to be an endless parade of people who would exploit the Vieux Carré for their financial gain at the expense of the community good. Only by joining together can we keep the Vieux Carré intact, for the enjoyment of all… and for future generations. No one can do it alone. That’s why we need you to join VCPORA today.
