Once planning began Bienville employed assistant engineer Adrien de Pauger to draw up plans for the new colony. He constructed a city layout partially borrowed from Tour ideas for Biloxi and called it the French Quarter.]]> 2019-01-23 02:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323287308 bryancolemanehh https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323289757 2019-01-23 02:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323289757 bryancolemanehh https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323290409 Bienville returned to Paris when the new govenor arrived in New Orleans in 1743.  However, even in France, he did what he could to aid the colony he had worked so long to build, seeking unsuccessfully to prevent the transfer of the colony from France to Spain.  

Bienville died in Paris in 1767 ]]> 2019-01-23 02:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323290409 bryancolemanehh https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323290940 2019-01-23 02:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323290940 bryancolemanehh https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323291136 2019-01-23 02:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323291136 bryancolemanehh https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323295455 2019-01-23 03:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bryancolemanehh/528jttx06zjn/wish/323295455
