Pondicherry

Commonly referred to as the “French Riviera of the East,” Pondicherry (now Puducherry) is located on the eastern coast of India. Pondicherry tourism has a strong French influence in its architecture, food, and overall culture. The French Quarter, which is also called White Town, has a European feel with pastel-coloured buildings, and bougainvillaea vines climbing the walls. Travellers seeking inner peace often visit Auroville and the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. The vibrant seaside promenade is known as Promenade Beach or Rock Beach, which is also a vehicle-free area. Pondicherry is also home to historical sites, such as the Gandhi statue and an old lighthouse. Its rich culinary setting earns a spot on the Pondicherry travel guide that blends South Indian flavours with French traditions.
