Pondicherry (or Puducherry), a French colonial settlement in India until 1954, is now a Union Territory town bounded by the southeastern Tamil Nadu state. Its French legacy is preserved in its French Quarter, with tree-lined streets, mustard-coloured colonial villas, and chic boutiques. A seaside promenade runs along the Bay of Bengal and passes several statues, including a 4 m-high Gandhi Memorial.
