The Moon Beach

The information in this post might be outdated

The quaint town of Chandernagore, a former French colony, gets its name from the shape of the bank of the river Hooghly which is bent like a half moon, thus ‘Chander Nagar’ (meaning ‘Moon City’). With the fragments of its past that have stood the test of time, Chandernagore offers a charming French escapade with a distinctive Bengali twist.
