Last Friday I went to Pondicherry in order to certify a signature for papers in France. In effet l’ambassade de France se situe a Dehli mais il y a aussi deux consulats : un à Mumbai et un à Pondichéry.
La ville se situe ici :
Il s’agit d’un ancien comptoir Français et l’influence hexagonale est encore très présente :
- Beaucoup de gens parlent français
- Le style architectural est colonial français
- Street names are in French (Rue de la Marine, Rue Bussy)
- There are bakeries and bookstores French
I only stayed few hours but the city seems very peaceful, surrounded by a huge beach and surrounded by a lush jungle. It does not seem affected by pollution, traffic jams and everything seems quieter.
I went back to Chennai by bus (3H - 1 e 50) having first filled my bag with 3 sticks and a dozen croissants / breads au chocolat.
