Stop At: Eglise de Notre Dame des Anges, Rue Dumas White Town, Puducherry, Pondicherry 605001 India
The church of Our Lady of Angels stands in the former Capuchins' square, surrounded by the streets Dumas, Surcouf and Romain Rolland. Between the church and the sea lies a little garden, in the middle of which stands a statue of Joan of Arc, armoured and carrying a battle standard. The statue and the garden bearing her name, were acquired and gifted by Francois Gaudart, politician and industrialist, shortly before his return to France in 1919. The statue was installed in April 1923.

Stop At: Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Pondicherry 605001 India
One of the most beautiful and revered church in Pondicherry and its about 300 years old church, built in the Portuguese style and the residence of the Bishop.
