Pondicherry is a former French colony that was merged into the Indian Union in 1954. The aroma of the lifestyle of Pondicherry is distinctly French dominated. Pondicherry has well laid out lanes that cut each other at perpendicular angles. The architectures of houses, buildings and churches carry the French influence to this day.
