In addition to the French quarter with its colonial mansions, you can discover the French High School, where high-quality French courses are given. During my visit to a French bakery in Pondicherry, I was served by a young Indian saleswoman who spoke perfect French. I naturally asked her if she had lived in France. She proudly replied that she had never been to France, but that she had studied at the French High School in Pondicherry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><strong>You can discover an Ashram, a place where calm reigns, where one meditates. But also many churches and Hindu temples.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>On the beach side, you can see the statue of Gandhi. Other parts of the city sometimes have brightly colored houses and very often have names given to them. Others, sometimes made entirely of palm leaves.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>In the streets, there are eco-taxi, pedal-powered tricycles, and a little less so motorized three-wheelers.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>I will meet schoolchildren in uniform, because school is attended in uniform and each school has its own colors.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>You can meet cows there, sometimes impressive ones.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Twice I came across a lemon seller and each time he proudly displayed the fruit he had picked in front of my camera lens.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>I will discover the blessing of vehicles and their drivers by a priest from Pondicherry. Above all, don't forget the famous Indian car, the TATA.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>The fisherman's wife comes daily to the villa where I'm staying. A long negotiation ensues each time. Once the price is firm and final, she prepares the fish on the sidewalk. An example of a menu enjoyed at a local's home: yogurt with onions, fish, beef, snails, tandoori chicken, rice. I'll enjoy this meal (very spicy, as is traditional in India) placed on a banana leaf, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by my hosts. Two hours later, my throat was still steaming!<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>I will go, accompanied by the Indian family who is hosting me, to an orphanage to offer meals and gifts to the little orphans. I will leave the place overwhelmed and in admiration of this somewhat elderly man who runs the establishment and who has an immense love for these children.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>During my stay, it's the nine-day Festival of Lights. On the road, I pass decorated floats heading towards the city. At night, they light up and circle the city. A priest aboard the floats blesses the inhabitants.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Don't miss the Sunday Market! Every Sunday evening, merchants display their wares for sale on the sidewalks.
