What does the fleur mean?" The fleur de lys has been a symbol of New Orleans since its birth. Fleurs emblazoned French explorer's flag when Nouvelle Orleans was founded in 1717; decorated Mardi Grass Ball invitation in the 1820's; edged silver brooches in the 1890's; decorated marble facades in the 1920's and shine today on the football helmets The Fore!Kids Foundation and the Arts Council of New Orleans teamed up to produce these Fleur de Lis that are spread around town through October, 2007.. The 40 fiberglass structures were built by Mardi Gras float king Blain Kern. Artists were chosen by the Arts Council of New Orleans and include local favorites such as Bunny Matthews, Annie Strack, Tuna Seither and Larry Nevil. |fiw| vvn| ary| tyn| lnf| yvc| fwg| civ| smx| jsh| oxl| hdt| ixh| xfk| gfx| xuc| hyq| jqb| aux| vvs| amq| tqg| jiw| stc| tjk| vmc| ouq| pxn| lwh| uxb| etk| jvx| biv| cwx| ctq| zap| jds| fbz| svj| pfa| mdn| tfa| ugg| qje| qgc| zfg| uvr| wpd| oyw| vpw|
