Pondicherry - Enchanté

Hugging the south east coast of India, Pondicherry is an endearing and quirky little town which grows on you with each passing day. We spent three days bumping into french indophiles, indian francophiles, spiritual disciples and of course, 'regular' people like auto rickshaw drivers who spoke fluent french and the hotel boy waiting for his french passport because his grandfather was in the french army. Exploring the well laid out streets in the White Town and the by lanes of fishing villages in the Black Town, we found a spirit that was uniquely French but at the same time uniquely Indian living in perfect harmony at La Côte d'Azur de l'Est...

Beautiful pictures Soumya. The colors are quite soothing and different from a typical Indian city!
