Pondicherry has a unique architecture, inherited from a mixture of cultures and its French and Tamil colonial past.<\/p>\n<p>Pondicherry has a special ambience and charm, completely different from the rest of India. Formerly a French colony, today it is an Indian territory, 160 km from Chennai (Madras), 100 km from Mah\u0101balipuram, along the Coast of Coromandel, in the Gulf of Bengal. Take a stroll, walking or on a cycle rickshaw, through the charming streets with evocative names, where you can admire the finest examples of colonial architecture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
