Pondicherry is a Union Territory located along the southeastern coast of India. The history of Pondicherry goes back to before the Roman times when it was a flourishing trade centre and had an ensuing rich maritime history. Eventually, it was occupied by different Southern dynasties and later saw conquests by the Portuguese, Dutch, Danes, and English. Nevertheless, it was the French who changed the history and landscape of the town, a change so monumental that it can be perceived even today. Whether it is a walk by the popular Rock beach with its statues of French personalities or through its French Quarters with its streets and buildings named in French, or its churches and streets being adorned for Christmas festivities, Pondicherry is a living testament to its French history and heritage.
