Pondicherry is described as tranquil, modern, and attractive, yet none of these descriptors do it credit. The town is tranquil and rich in culture and history. It is a union territory that was previously held by Dutch, French, and British rulers. It is also known as 'Puducherry.' However, it retains leanings toward French culture and popular influences - there is even a big French neighbourhood here, which is Pondicherry's most popular tourist destination.
