Laissez le bon temp rouler no more!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are placing their New Orleans mansion on the market, asking a cool $6.5 million for the 7,645-square-foot digs. The Hollywood royal couple purchased the home back in 2007, a year after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city and surrounding areas. The Pitt-Jolie clan made headlines for their philanthropic efforts to rebuild the area, and have since spent generous amounts of time there to help with construction efforts, film flicks and just enjoy NoLa's charm.

As for their French Quarter residence, the historic home boasts exquisite details like Venetian plastered walls, custom marble fireplaces and a grand spiral staircase. Don't think the home—built in the1830s—doesn't come with plenty of Pitt-approved updates though. Since purchasing the mansion for $3.5 million, the 51-year-old actor has poured ample architectural upgrades into the 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house. 

With the Jolie-Pitts being the hush-hush folks they are, no interior photos are available of the stunning residence. But use your imaginations: This classic property probably qualifies as an Architectural Digest-worthy hotspot.

Pitt maintains his Make It Right foundation in the Big Easy to revamp homes in the 9th Ward with eco-friendly makeovers, and he's also made time to film quite a few movies in town. Interview with the Vampire in 1994 and 2008's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button rank as two of his most noteworthy New Orleans-filmed flicks, and even this spring Pitt's been spotted shooting the upcoming The Big Short in the jazz-loving locale.

No word on whether the Jolie-Pitt's are planning to swap residences in New Orleans or say goodbye to the city for good, but this we know: Even if they don't own property there, they'll be hard pressed to stay away for long!
