Guided tour of Pondicherry town. This little town on the shores of the Bay of Bengal is at once a bustling mini-metro and a laid-back fishing village where time actually takes a break. The slower you go the more you soak in, and the better you vibe with the dreamy little slice of France. You can explore its distinctly French quartier and experience a mini European getaway. Brush up on your French history and come up close with the many French Governors and Generals whose names adorn street signs. Cycle about tree-lined avenues that mark out residential blocks in a grid street plan. Or simply sit in a café and enjoy the colourful and reflective passage of time. As we would say in Pondy: “Give time a break”.
