Nomadic Bites

French culture has always played a dramatic role in my life; whether it is French movie, renaissance arts and to miss the special French Kiss!!!When you don’t have that luxury of travelling abroad; you bleed to find the space locally. India’s own French Riviera – Pondicherry. The  French East India Company  established this town as their headquarters in 1674. Later on, the  British  captured Pondicherry from the  French , but the  Treaty of Paris (1763)  at the conclusion of the  Seven Years' War  returned it.  Pondicherry has a  tropical wet and dry  climate . Let me take you through the places you simply cannot ignore: White town: The French Colony The place is inspired by European architecture. While sashaying down the lanes here; you will spot the arched doors in pastel shades and bright colors. The bougainvillea plunging out of the walls and letting you dive in tranquility. The place definitely give an Indo western feels and captures the French connection.
