HOTEL GUIDES
Palais De Mahe
PONDICHERRY, TAMIL NADU
The gentle rumbling of the sea beckons you towards worlds long lost – of palaces with high ceilings that hold memories of a colonial past. In the quaint town of Pondicherry, the present cajoles history to re-surface once again. A bird sings an old French song, it’s notes dulled by the fragrant winds from the Coromandel coast. For the traveller, the character of Pondicherry, fondly called Pudducherry, is laden with intrigue. On one hand is the spirit of Colonial France with its sprightly yellow, plastered bungalows, and flower balconies; and on the other is the essence of Tamil Nadu with temples, bazaars, and art. Palais de Mahe is a dwelling for the traveller who is exploring the cultural dichotomy of old port towns. The hotel offers the unique opportunity of experiencing the Tamilian life, through its locally sourced products while living within the architecture of old French Quarters. Palais De Mahe is mindful of the rich contrasts of Pondicherry and makes them it’s own.
