Our Indian travels continue, moving southwards from Chennai to the lovely former French colony of Puducherry. Following almost 300 years of French rule, Puducherry was only transferred back to Indian control in the mid-20th century.

Today, it retains much of its European heritage. This is being strengthened due to a great deal of restoration work underway in the French Quarter.

We loved the few days we had there, and it was certainly a very different experience to every other Indian city we have been to.
