Karaikal

The information in this post might be outdated
Originally a French colony in 1674, Karaikal was under constant dispute between the British, Dutch and French governments. It was finally incorporated into the Indian nation in 1954, after the success of the Independence movement. Like Pondicherry, this town also reflects the French essence with the remains of its architecture. The town is located around 283 Kms from Chennai and makes for a scenic and fun road trip.
