We visited Palais de Mahe last weekend as a family of 5 (2 grandparents, 2 parents and a kid) and we fell in love with this laidback, easygoing and home-like space...- Ammu Rajendran ,
Experience Experiencing Palais de Mahe

French Quarter

Palais de Mahe is located in the heart of the French quarter of Pondicherry close to the Bay of Bengal. It is just footsteps away from the famed promenade - far enough to keep the noise away and near enough for you to stroll over in flip-flops and catch the breeze at any time of night or day.

Franco-Tamilians of Pondy

Pondicherry is a city with rare mix of French and Tamil cultures. It's common to see families with mix of French and Tamil parents with Franco Tamil children. Many Pondicherry Tamilians hold French passport, have served in the French navy. The French game Pétanque is popular in Pondicherry and it's amusing to see an Indian city with road names written in French.

Puducherry Police

The Puducherry Police date back to the period of French colonial rule prior to 1954. Separate Armed and Indigenous (local) police units were maintained at that time. The modern force still retains the French kepi as a distinctive feature of its uniform.
