The architecture of Pondicherry
Fondly known as ‘Pondy’ by many travellers who’ve been here, it has had a long versatile history when it comes to defining its culture. At first Pondicherry fell into the hands of the Dutch and then the British. After them came the French East India Company that left their most potent mark on Pondicherry.
Puducherry or Pondicherry was under the influence of the French for the longest of times; and thus it is the mark of the French that can be most prominently seen here. Today Pondicherry is an important city and a Union territory, but the Fresh vibe continues to describe its core existence.
So if you’ve always dreamt of going to France but the flight tickets put a dent in your plans. Worry not! Pondicherry is just the perfect dose you need to fulfill all your French fantasies.
