Pudhucherry, formerly known as Pondicherry, is known for its rich cultural heritage and the influence of French colonialism. Explore the French Quarter by foot, with its charming colonial buildings, narrow lanes, quaint cafes and restaurants. Visit the Promenade, the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Pondicherry Museum. Treat your taste buds with French cuisine at one of the many famous cafes in the area.
On your last day, step away from the chaos of the city and unwind at Paradise Beach, also known as Plage Paradiso. The beach is accessible only by boat, which adds to its charm. The crystal-clear waters, golden sand, and lush greenery make it one of the best romantic locations in Pondicherry. Spend your day sunbathing, swimming, or strolling down the beautiful beach with your significant other.
If you have more time, head to Serenity Beach, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Chunnambar Backwater river and Botanical Garden. If you have less time, consider skipping the French Quarters.
