The French Quarter
Pondicherry's White Town is a slice of 18th-century France on the Coromandel coast. The mustard-yellow walls and bougainvillea-draped villas now house some of India's most exquisite boutique hotels.
Staying in a restored heritage mansion offers an unparalleled immersion into the region's unique Franco-Tamil history.
Time moves differently in Pondicherry.
Culinary Fusion
The local cuisine is a fascinating blend of Tamil spices and French techniques. Don't miss the Creole curries and perfectly baked baguettes.
Take a walking tour of the French Quarter early in the morning before the heat sets in, finishing with croissants at a local bakery.
