During the day the seafront is quiet, but from 7pm to 6am the street is closed to cars and bikes, and the locals fill the entire street. I arrived on Sunday and there were at least 3,000 people, since then for the weeknights there have been 7-800 people milling around. Its nice and calm, mostly families walking together and some groups of teenagers behaving quite well.
This is a statue of the Joseph Dupleix a popular French governor of Pondicherry from 1742.
The Gandhi statue in the center of the promenade.
A French memorial to the fallen Indian soldiers of WWI.
Just a random street in the French quarter. Very pretty by Indian standard.
The governor's house.
There are thousands of signs with odd English phrases on them, here is just one I found funny,
"fancy items available here"
That street and mansion look like something from downtown Mobile.
ReplyDeleteThe vibrant green boat and dog set the mood of the moment. The governor's house and street scenes remind me of several island location in the Caribbean. The 'fancy items available here' on the sign above is cute.
