More about Pondicherry
Often referred to as "A little piece of Medieval France in
India" and "... a sleepy provincial French town", Pondicherry
has managed to retain its French aura. From it's delightful
restaurants offering French cuisine and streets bearing French
names, Pondicherry's French connection is very much alive - yet,
very subtle. As one tourist guide proclaims "... Pondicherry's
Frenchness seems to play hide-and-seek". Having once been the
capital of erstwhile French India, the heritage of this town has
a special flavour not found anywhere else in the Indian
sub-continent. The French town-sense, neatly laid roads cutting
each other at ninety degrees, wide and vibrant beach promenade,
French colonial history, the eventful life of Joseph Francois
Duplex - whose majestic statue overlooks the Goubert Avenue
contemplatively, architecturally admirable churches and public
structures of a bygone era, all of these coalesce to give
Pondicherry its unique milieu.
