The colonial past of Puducherry is hard to miss.The Portuguese have been here, so have the Dutch, the Danes and the English. By the 18th century, this tiny fishing village turned into a grand port city. The French first set foot here in 1670 and left a part of them when their undisturbed rule finished in 1954. Not much has changed since. The history has become punctuated. On this tour visit the colonial quarters, Tamil & Muslim Quarters, & the Goubert Market, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Manakula Vinayagar Temple, Notre Dames Des Anges Church o and some old buildings according to interests and availability.
