All you want to know about the Experience
Pondicherry was once a French colonial settlement and as a result, a French influence can be seen throughout the region, from beautiful villas painted in bright, merry pastels to quaint cafes and restaurants that serve mouthwatering authentic French food.
The French Quarter or White Town of Pondicherry is an area that is unique from the rest of the Union Territory. Imbibing its French roots, spectacular colonial buildings line the lovely winding lanes. Laid out in a grid pattern with parallel streets cutting across each other at right angles, the wooden doors painted soothing colours, intricate white filigree on window shutters, and the gently waving trees carefully maintained on street corners make this beautiful region look like a mini-Paris.
Start off from Rue De La Marine and sight the Consulat général de France à Pondichéry (French Embassy), Institut Français de Pondichéry (French Institute), Raj Nivas, Aayi monument, Government Square, French Cavalry building and much more. Learn about the mysteries and stories around this lovely town and how Pondicherry was influenced by the French with your expert guide.
Love history? This is a great tour for families, students, or tourists looking to understand the history and cultural significance of Pondicherry.
