One for the gram. Cycle around Pondicherry and indulge in local flavours and culture

With its bicycle tours, BLive acquaints people with the charming seaside town, its history and culinary delights

It is 5pm and the streets of Puducherry are coming alive after a post lunch slump. The harsh rays of the sun turn soft gold and gentle. Office-goers dash home, perhaps rushing back to their evening café au lait or chai and samosas. A game of Petanque takes place in the distance. Cars and bikes honk angrily as they try to out-race each other to what feels like an invisible finish line.

Meanwhile we hop onto our e-bikes and set out to explore the French Quarter at a languid pace. Titled Picturesque Pondicherry, these cycle tours by BLive aim to introduce travellers and intrepid explorers to the French culture, as well as, the Tamil heritage of this coastal town.
