French Styled Architecture In Puducherry, India Editorial Photo

Pondicherry, officially known as Puducherry, is the capital and the most populous city of the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry. Almost two hundred years of French occupation have resulted in a distinct beautification of Pondicherry. The White Town area of Pondicherry is also known as the French Quarter. Many of these structures in the French Quarter of Pondicherry are colonial buildings and were built by the French during their rule. Some of the buildings in White Town have been deemed as heritage sites and are breathtakingly beautiful. The colours used for the structures here are primarily sun burnt yellow, peach or white.
