About Pondicherry
Pondicherry, also called Puducherry, is a former French colony on the Bay of Bengal, with a seafront promenade, yellow villas and Auroville nearby.
Pondicherry, renamed Puducherry in 2006, lies on the Coromandel Coast of south-east India and was ruled by France until the 1950s. Its French Quarter, known as White Town, has a grid of tree-lined streets with ochre and pale-yellow colonial villas hung with bougainvillea, and a promenade along the sea where a statue of Gandhi stands. The Sacred Heart Basilica and the Immaculate Conception Cathedral give the quarter a skyline of church towers.
