Pondicherry, officially known as Puducherry, and
commonly referred to as just Pondy, is one of the
Nine Union Territories of India. This former French
colony is a perfect amalgamation of the traditional
Indian sensibilities and French architecture,
making it a dreamy escape that offers the best of
both worlds.
The streets of the French Quarter of Pondicherry,
also known as White Town, are dotted with
charming mustard-yellow colonial structures with
bougainvillaea laden walls. These are interspersed
with cosy cafes and chic boutiques that offer
delectable French cuisine and beverages. Simply
strolling down these streets, can give the traveller
an insight into the fairytale charm of Pondicherry.
Come explore the boulevards and rues (the
French word for streets) of the Pondicherry
that will ultimately take you down to the
gorgeous seaside promenade, where the Bay
of Bengal playfully splashes the shores of the
famous Rock beach.
Topped with authentic French bakeries
bohemian stores and cobble-stoned paths
that are delightful for a leisurely stroll or
bicycle ride, Pondicherry has a lot to offer. So
head on down to this dream town of the
Indian Coast and chug a few beers (at the
Union Territory prices; bid adieu to state taxes)
or just read a book in one of the quaint cafes.
