Heading to Pondy this weekend? Stay at L’escale Guest House, which is close to the beach, and offers a cosy place to escape to.

What Makes It Awesome

Situated in Dumas Street in White Town, L’escale is perfectly located for the traveller who wants to get to know Pondicherry. The central location means that you’re not far away from the town’s tourist hot spots, the biggest of all being beachfront that’s only 100m away!

The guest house itself is a tiny three-storey building with a beautiful terrace that overlooks the sea. The rooms much like the building are small, but functional. The colour scheme across all rooms feature pop colours against a white background, which gives it a cosy vibe and the interiors are so tastefully done.

Their terrace is worth mentioning again as it has received much praise from travelers, thanks to how beautiful it is to sit there and take in the view, especially in the mornings as you enjoy it over a French breakfast replete with brioches and croissants. Amenities wise, all the rooms are air-conditioned, have WiFi and even have their own private bathrooms. Pretty standard facilities for most guest houses, but then again, you’re not really coming to Pondy to sit in a room all day as tempting as that is.

L’escale caters to the newcomer to Pondicherry by offering a sort of concierge service. Want to know what attractions are good to visit in the evening? Or maybe you want to take a day trip to see the sights outside Pondy? No problem ask the staff and they will help you organise those trips. They also have bikes and scooters on rent, making getting around the town a lot easier. Think of L’escale as a one-stop shop for everything a traveler could want for a very modest fee.
