10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Pondicherry That You Shouldn't Miss
Pondicherry’s bougainvilleas, crumbling cathedrals and leafy boulevards might occasionally make you wonder if you’re in the south of France instead of a former French colony. But it's also unmistakably Indian, with colorful festivals, the famous monument of Aayi Mandapam, and the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Quiet beaches stretch north and south from town, good for swimming and sunrise strolls.

9. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Reviewed By travellordorco - New Delhi, India
Excellent old church with towering high spires just opposite to the railway station. Altar is aesthetically done. The Gothic style 100-year-old church with some rare stained glass paintings of the 28 saints who were related to the devotion of Sacred Heart of Jesus, is one of the churches tourists visit often and is a famous pilgrimage site for Christians. The red and white-bricked walls reminded me of my primary school days - the Sacred Heart School. Visit to churches is a true reminiscent of so many childhood days. Right at the entrance are inscribed these degrees: "I will sanctify this place, for my heart is here." Cheers to life!!

Reviewed By Deadman17 - Mumbai, India
This is the place which lists down what all restorations have been done in and around Pondicherry. In a way it takes us back to olden times and shows what Pondicherry really was - a quiet sea side holiday town, long before the excellent connectivity with neighbouring cities transformed it into a weekend holiday destination. The place helps us connect the past of Pondicherry with the present.
