Pondicherry

Known as the ‘French Capital of India’, Pondicherry exudes the charm of colonial times with remnants of eras gone by. This coastal town is often distinguished by its European architecture, pretty promenade, mustard-coloured walls, old churches, and classic French cuisine. Pondicherry has been colonised by the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, and the English, and much of their influence is visible even today.
