Cobblestone sidewalks and mature trees accentuate the historic architecture in Soulard, the oldest neighborhood in Saint Louis. Combining old-world elegance with a hip, trendy flair, Soulard is one of the city's most popular neighborhoods, filled with bars and restaurants and the location of the annual Mardi Gras parade and Oktoberfest. It is also home to the oldest farmers' market west of the Mississippi River, and it is the location of the Anheuser-Busch headquarters.
