What is the setting of Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice?

The setting of the interview is in a room of a building on Divisadero Street (San Francisco) during the present day. As Louis' story unfolds, however, the settings change. Not only do the locations change, but times change as well. Louis' story begins when he is a young mortal man living on a plantation, Pointe du Lac, in Louisiana. After time spent there with Lestat, they move into the French Quarter at the heart of New Orleans. It is still in the very late 1700s. While in New Orleans, Louis, Lestat, and Claudia take up residence in a townhouse. Together, the three of them spend almost seventy years as family.
