Pondicherry Hotels
Pondicherry, also called by the name of Puducherry, is located on the eastern coast of India. It is a small conclave enclosed with the boundaries of the state of Tamil Nadu. Ruled by the French in the past, the Union Territory bears prominent signature of the French architecture and influence which form one of the main sightseeing attractions for the tourists.
A number of colonial era buildings, churches (Our Lady of Angels, Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, etc), temples (Sri Manakula Vinayagar temple, Varadaraja Perumal temple, Kanniga Parameswari temple, etc), mosques (Meeran and Kutabh), urban architecture, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, monuments and statutes of Indian and French legends, museums and gardens and parks provide opportunities for sightseeing as well as fun-filled activities for the tourists. Though beaches used to be one of the most attractive propositions for tourists visiting Pondicherry, most of these are now lost partly due to erosion and partly due to the construction of harbour at Ariyankuppam.
