Description
Pondicherry is the capital and the most populous city of the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry. The city is located in the Pondicherry district on the southeast coast of India and is surrounded by the state of Tamil Nadu with which it shares most of its culture and language. Pondicherry was a French colonial settlement in India until 1954. Its French legacy is preserved in its French Quarter, with tree-lined streets, mustard-colored colonial villas and chic boutiques. A seaside promenade runs along the Bay of Bengal and passes several statues, including a 4m-high Gandhi Memorial.
