Sightseeing in Pondicherry

The capital of Puducherry, Pondicherry was once a French colonial settlement and still bears the remnants of this mix of culture, from its language to the food and the architecture that decorates its lovely streets. Popular amongst tourists for its delicious French cuisines, delicate French influenced villas that are painted in cheerful yellows, oranges, soothing blues and greens and its carefully maintained heritage sites; Pondicherry is a great place to put on your bucket list of destinations to visit in South India. 

If you’re a history buff, sightseeing in Pondicherry is a sure delight, with history around every corner. 100-year old Bungalows invite you in, to take in the aged furniture, lush, green gardens and stories through the ages. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, The Pondicherry Botanical Garden and the Old Lighthouse are all iconic historical places that will fuel your love of the past.

Sightseeing in Pondicherry for foodies isn’t complete without visiting the quaint cafes that dot the region. Coromandel Café has enchanting Parisian interiors that make you feel as though you’re in the heart of France while Baker Street draws you in with the sweet smell of freshly baked bread.
