Government Square
by Willettsworld
This is the centre of French Town or White Town as it was also known. A pavilion stands in the centre of this nice leafy square. To its north is the Raj Nivas which was Dupleix's palatial home and now the Lieutenant Governor's official residence. The French Town features colonial style buildings with long compound walls and gates, along long wide streets. Continuous wall to wall constructions with high garden walls and ornate gates are the major feature. The residential buildings are simple, characterised by flat roofs, an inner courtyard with garden and colonnaded porticos.

Plage Paradiso, popularly known as Paradise Beach, is situated at Chunnambar, in the close proximity of Pondicherry town. It is a sought after tourist attraction, as the cool breeze and golden sand serve the beach as a resting hub.
The view of the sunrise is amazing from the shore. A stream on one side of the beach enriches the beauty of the pleasant beach. Sun bathing and a variety of water sports activities are major draws here. Beach volleyball, beach umbrellas, nets and fishing rods are all available for the enthusiast travelers. This is really a secluded beach to relax.
Beautiful Government Park
by Donna_in_India
Government Park (also known as Bharati Park) was once the site of the first French garrison, Fort Louis, which was destroyed by the British in 1761. Its name comes from the fact that it is surrounded by many prestigious government buildings.
Today it is an absolutely beautiful - and peaceful - park ideal for a walk or nap! You'll find perfectly manicured lawns, flower beds, fountains, and statues all around the park. There is a great children's area with all sorts of playground equipment.
Wander the grounds and admire the flowers and statues, then take off your shoes and relax on the lawn!
