Crafting Your Story, Perfectly Told

Richard Bienvenu—a name that stands out in New Orleans and beyond. Richard isn’t just a writer, a songwriter, or a performer; he’s a master craftsman who’s spent years sharpening his skills to a razor’s edge.

Whether he’s creating content for websites, penning captivating books, or composing songs that linger in your soul, Richard delivers nothing less than excellence.

I really enjoyed writing this book. One thing that used to frustrate me about carrying around those other thick travel books, like Fodor’s and Lonely Planet, to foreign destinations was that there were too many choices, too many things to see, too many places to go. Mostly, the entries were told from visitors’ perspectives. 

In my view, to really get to know a place, its ins and outs, you have to be with a local. That’s how you get a real flavor of it, the culture, the customs, and the traditions. My intent with the book is to give you a local’s eye view of New Orleans, a taste and a flavor of where locals like to go and what really makes this place tick. 

Since I wanted to make the book short and easy to read, of course I could not include everything. But I hope that I’ve provided the main points so that any visitor, and really any local, who wanted to get a true New Orleans experience would be able to pick and choose among the best choices to have a fabulous time in the Crescent City.
