From Auroville we continued to Pondicherry, a nice coastal town, which used to be – from the mid 17th century – a French colony and still shows it today. Some streets have the feel of a French town close to the Atlantic ocean, also this is probably one of the few places throughout my India trip with decent croissants readily available 😉

We made it into Pondicherry around mid-day and – after a great thali lunch – had some time for a self-guided / google-maps supported walk around town … a more proper tour was given in the evening … before we made it to a pre-dinner drink and a fairly French influenced dinner.
