What image do you associate the most with Pondicherry? It’s obvious! Pondy’s iconic White Town or French Quarter is an enchanting remnant of its past as a colonial settlement. Its French legacy can be seen in its mustard and light-blue colonial villas and chic boutiques that remind you of Paris. These buildings boast of stories embedded in its foundation and on this French Quarter Walking Tour, you look beneath Pondy to uncover its glorious past.
