in the last weekPromenade Beach in Pondicherry is one of the most visited places in this beautiful coastal city. The beach stretches almost 1.5 kilometres and has important landmarks that tell tales of bygone times. The statue of Joan of Arc, Dupleix’s statue, the old heritage hall, the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, and the old lighthouse greet visitors at the beach.
