BTS EP 5 Pondicherry Heriage Walk of Old French town area, Puducherry, Union Terrirtory.

We did heritage walk with a local person of Pondicherry, who is an expert in his knowledge of heritage buildings in Puducherry.

We got to see the old french town area, place where french used to live, old chamber of commerce, Governor bunglow, old houses built during the french era.

Earlier this part of town was called as White town but now it is termed as Old French town.

We did heritage walk with Mr. Ashok, he charges Rs 5k for 2 hour heritage walk.

He can be reached on 9443345563.

During this walk we saw that streets in Pondicherry are still addressed by their old names, which existed 200 years back. We saw old bakeries , restaurants, hotels which specialise in french cuisines. Also saw some of the old architecture hotels from outside.

During this heritage walk of Pondicherry Mr. Ashok also gave us lot of knowlege about people who went to france from Pondicherry and joined army there.

Over all it was a great experience to do learn about old architecture of Pondicherry, which is a union terrirory
