Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, also known as the Étienne de Boré Oak, is one of the oldest and most iconic live oaks in Audubon Park. Thought to have been planted by New Orleans’ first mayor as a wedding gift to his bride, this centuries-old tree now provides a breathtaking backdrop for weddings, picnics, and intimate outdoor gatherings.
