Pondicherry has French cuisine influence, Goa has Portuguese cuisine influence. British colonized most of the India, but there is no British food influence. This says a lot about British cuisine.
I'm so happy that someone is showing the actual India😫, like every foreign vlogger shows delhi, varanasi, agra or mumbai but you showed the actual beautiful places, hats of to you 🫡
Omgosh such a beautiful city!! I loved the colorful buildings, and the architecture is gorgeous! I’m sure I put on pounds just looking at all those delicious pastries😋. Lastly, I loved your background music…. I really thought I was strolling thru the streets of Paris. Loved it!!❤️❤️
Me and my wife from Meghalaya spent our honeymoon here for a week, rented a royal Enfield from Chennai, love this area! Can't wait to visit again! Next time you come to India visit the northeast, the living root bridges are amazing!
Ahh that sounds amazing to have a bike in Pondicherry and be able to visit all the other beaches and stuff too! It is so nice there 😍 NE India is really high on my list!!! I’m trying to see if I can fit a trip in in October (when I have off work 🥰🤞)
That's a good time to visit, I would definitely recommend going a different route then most to show a different perspective to the area, PARVATI Temple, Boko, Assam and then drop down into Riangdo, our house is on route 10 not far from St. Joseph's Church, if you are looking for a place to stay we definitely have the hottest shower (maybe the only one,lol) in the area! Some of the most beautiful rice fields I have ever seen in that area. I have photos and some videos if you are interested. Hopefully when we retire 10-15 years we will open our homestay up.
Aww thank you 🥰 I did go to Delhi and Mumbai as well, but I prefer traveling to lesser known places. And India has so many amazing places to travel to! 😍
Wow french influcences in india. Love the archetecture, those pastries looked amazing..if you didnt know where you were you could of been in France. French bread is so amazing. 1 per cafè 😅. In the midfle of india you wouldnt expect this. So many diverse cultures, buildings, statues, foods all in one place. French colonies ruled then us brits came into parts of india and ruled unto the indepence ot indoa. Love Hindus and Sikhs people. Love visiting temples, churches and places of historical interest. Nice vlog and intresting as per usual.🩷🥰🩷🌟👍
Thank you, Alan 🥰 but yes - that’s all so true!! There were so many places like this that really surprised me in India!! 😍 the next vlog is the same too, another really unique place!
You probably didnt even think much while writing this... But I cannot even express how good it felt to read something positive being said about us amongst a literal ocean of poisonous hatred and racism.
Omg first time i am watching foreigner showing good and touristic places about India. Other influencers are just love to show poverty of India which is in very small portion of India
Beautiful city and temples are truly gorgeous there. In the northern region of India, the architectural style of temples is quite distinct. Additionally, Christianity in India is very different from that in the West, as it is heavily influenced by Hinduism here.
I am from Puducherry, such a lovely place. I miss them living in Canada now, but I will live back there in my old age days. Miss those street walk and foods.
I have recently discovered you and started watching one of your videos in India and I was hooked❤ your whole video is just a nice piece of creative work and you blend things really well with your storytelling ❤ so ya keep up the good work
Pondicherry City is one of the beautiful Cosmopolitan Coastal City of India with a fusion of French and Tamil Indian Architecture and Culture.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT BEING A HINDU (Sanatana Dharma)? Written by Indian Journalist having French roots - François Gautier 1) Believe in God ! - Aastik - Accepted 2) Don't believe in God ! - You're accepted as Nastik 3) You want to worship idols - please go ahead. You are a murti pujak. 4) You dont want to worship idols - no problem. You can focus on Nirguna Brahman-shapeless, formless ,infinite, without beginning or end(nirvikalpa brahama) 5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical. Nyaya, Tarka etc. are core Hindu schools. 6) You want to accept beliefs as it is. Most welcome. Please go ahead with it. 7) You want to start your journey by reading Bhagvad Gita - Sure ! 8) You want to start your journey by reading Upanishads - Go ahead. 9) You want to start your journey by reading Purana - Be my guest. 10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti tradition . ( bhakti- devotion) 11) You don't like idea of Bhakti ! No problem. Do your Karma. Be a karmayogi. 12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy. 13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - jai ho ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic ! 14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship). 15) You believe in one God or Supreme Energy. Superb! Follow Advaita philosophy 16) You want a Guru. Go ahead. Receive gyaan.(gyan yoga) 17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study !(still gyana or raj yoga) 18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped. 19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism! "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family) 20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival. Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year. 21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu. 22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved. 23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem.

So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe! 26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint. 27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily) You represent this! You're free to choose, my dear Hindu! This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!! There is a saying in Rigveda, the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell - "Ano Bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah "- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction"
Never heard of this place - are you sure it is in India ? Look at the contrast - why can't they copy that to other cities, however...it looks so cool...Glad you are keeping well there Nat ...
Yessss - it’s definitely India! India is full of SO many amazing places like this aren’t people (myself included) don’t usually expect. It’s one of the reasons I had SUCH a great time exploring India!!! 😍
Thats the French quarter near the beach full of cafes and tourist traps and ashrams and commercial areas- with perfect parallel roads. You go outside that area - its another typical Indian city. I rented a scooter and explored the whole city.
Hi! Natalie.l knew u've been told to released some vid that explored India and post the latest Songkran festival collaboration vid in Thailand and wondering where were u now?take care ur self.❤❤❤
I was in India January-beginning of April. But I traveled to SO many places that I’m STILL editing videos from India 🙈😅 I moved back to Bangkok right before songkran! So now I’m living (and teaching) again in Bangkok 🥰 Bangkok still feels like home and I missed it the entire year I was gone!!!
I wish you all the best in your travels; however, Puducherry is not French India. It is merely a part of India that for, whatever reason, the French had control over.
@@NataliesPassport Stick with what you're doing because you're doing it well. At the cost of returning to an elementary error, French influence and French India are two different things. It would be like an Indian quarter in the USA being referred to as Indian America. Again, I wish you the very best.
@@sandeepjayaram9674 Hi Pondicherrian here. Puducherry was actually a part of French trading company (its headquarters actually) during the colonial era. Never a part of British India. We actually have a separate Independence Day and Republic Day. The liberation day is on November 1 (when the French government transferred the territories to Indian government) and Jour de transfer on Aug 16. Officially became part of Indian government in 1962. That’s why we are UT instead of states. So she is not entirely wrong when she said French India.
😱 oh wow that is surprising! I was also really surprised at how many random dry cities there were in India! And the cities without meat. I had no idea that was a thing until India lol
Surprising... Because you need a separate license to sell alcohol in India. Which is a completely separate thing and a completely different business...
@@NataliesPassport they are Karikal further south of Puduchery in Tamil Nadu State, Yanam on the coast of Andhra Pradesh ( north of Chennai) and Mahe ( Kerala Coast) and Chandernagar in Bengal. Puduchery the biggest and the seat of French India. Rest are all small with not much French architecture to see and French culture residual. Mahe along Kerala Coast might interest as it’s small but compact. Karikal is even smaller with no real vestiges to see, and Yanam in Andhra Pradesh might have some ( although French tourists tend to go only to Puduchery) . Safe travels!
Sorry 😭😭 I thought I was going to finish 2 weeks ago. But then I had a work trip (I'm teaching full time again), then when we got back I got the flu so I've done nothing for the last 5 days except feel terrible! I'm going to start working on my Fort Kochi vlog tomorrow 🥰
Visit meghlaya you see world wettest place, most beautiful waterfalls, cleanest river in Asia, blue lagoons, many canonys, rainforest, and kiving root bridge it is heaven ❤
Excatly at 4:48, when Natalie said, she doesn't know french, the next moment we see a board on the right side stating, "French classes" has anyone noticed that!!!😅
I've been living in Pondicherry for the past 24 years. Such a wonderful place for leisure. How would you describe the place in 2 words?🤩Just want to hear from tourists.
Ahhh in two words?? I’m not sure 🙈 I really liked Pondicherry tho! Walking around there was so nice, plus the architecture and bakeries were amazing! 😍
Actually 90% of my videos are just recorded on my iPhone (no microphone or anything). The headphone I’m wearing in the video is because I travel alone so I’m always listening to music 😅😅😅🤣❤️
Yes, it’s full of traffic and it’s a part of life like any other countries have. Travelling isn’t what problems we have in life, travelling is about to find yourself and explore. Get educated bruh and I heard South Indians are educated. Sorry for you 😊

Some travellers love rain and traffic too and some are not. So u mean in rainy season and traffic people shouldn’t travel why? Is there any high alert or any notifications by state government? Live a real life bruh. Peace ☮️
@@NataliesPassportso true … ur video releases are like Christmas, would love to see ur vlogs more often. You should rather do longer raw videos with minimum editing
I'm not in India anymore - I'm back living and working in Bangkok. But I still have like 7 videos from my trip to India that I need to edit! I actually went to Himachal at the beginning of my 3 month India trip 😍

Hi
Pondicherrian here.
Puducherry was actually a part of French trading company (its headquarters actually) during the colonial era. Never a part of British India.
We actually have a separate Independence Day and Republic Day. The liberation day is on November 1 (when the French government transferred the territories to Indian government) and Jour de transfer on Aug 16. Officially became part of Indian government in 1962. That’s why we are UT instead of states. So she is not entirely wrong when she said French India.
Indian breakfast is relatively cheaper and healthier than any type of French bread.
Yesssss for sure! I love some idly or paratha 😍 but when in Pondicherry, I feel like a French bakery is a must! 😅
U should also visit uk [ uttrakhand]
I’d love to one day! 😍
She stayed in Rishikesh for I think one month. Check her rishikesh vlog
If u eat. 1.plate idly and 1.plate poori with cost if 100rs full day u will not feel hungry and health also
Ohhh I love idly! 😍
Pondicherry had beer available in its Pizza Hut when I went last. Pretty uncommon for India.
😱 oh wow that is surprising! I was also really surprised at how many random dry cities there were in India! And the cities without meat. I had no idea that was a thing until India lol

Mahe along Kerala Coast might interest as it’s small but compact. Karikal is even smaller with no real vestiges to see, and Yanam in Andhra Pradesh might have some ( although French tourists tend to go only to Puduchery) . Safe travels!
My wife's hometown Pondicherry
Such a cool hometown! 😍 does she speak French?!
ayo we've got Vanessa Carlton's visit to India
😅😅❤️
I am from pondicherry
Love it there 😍
Great vlog . But why so much delay?
Sorry 😭😭 I thought I was going to finish 2 weeks ago. But then I had a work trip (I'm teaching full time again), then when we got back I got the flu so I've done nothing for the last 5 days except feel terrible! I'm going to start working on my Fort Kochi vlog tomorrow 🥰
Visit meghlaya you see world wettest place, most beautiful waterfalls, cleanest river in Asia, blue lagoons, many canonys, rainforest, and kiving root bridge it is heaven ❤
I really want to go there! 😍
@@NataliesPassportyessss plsssss❤❤❤❤
Exploring Pondicherry’s French influence must have been fascinating! What was the highlight of your solo adventure in this unique part of India?
I think just everything - the whole vibe of the city was really different from everywhere else I went in India! 😍 plus all the French bakeries 🤤🤤🤤
Natalie you are damn beautiful ❤️ 😍 i really like your accent ❤
Aww thank you 🥰🥰
You should go to goa for beach life
I did spend a few days in Goa as well! 😍
Excatly at 4:48, when Natalie said, she doesn't know french, the next moment we see a board on the right side stating, "French classes" has anyone noticed that!!!😅
🙈😅 maybe if I stayed longer I could’ve taken a class or two 🤗
It isn’t required for you, Natalie, as you already have the knowledge of universal language 😊
I've been living in Pondicherry for the past 24 years. Such a wonderful place for leisure. How would you describe the place in 2 words?🤩Just want to hear from tourists.
Ahhh in two words?? I’m not sure 🙈 I really liked Pondicherry tho! Walking around there was so nice, plus the architecture and bakeries were amazing! 😍
Hey Natalie, while the streets are cute, u are cuter!
😂
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Please visit Varanasi ❤
I did! It was one of the last stops during my trip 🥰
Awesome When did you visited pondicherry?
This was actually back in February! 🙈 I'm so behind on editing and I still have like 7 more videos to edit from my 3 months in India!
Wow awesome, I am waiting
That's an amazing place, next you should visit Bangalore.
I wanted to visit Bangalore, but I ran out of time 😭 hopefully one day! ❤️
@@NataliesPassport hopefully 🤞🏻next time for sure.
Visit portuguese colony in goa
Former** Portuguese colony
Not currently Portuguese Colony. Check yours fact. Goa is a State/Province of India.
Ohhh I went to Goa for a few days, but I don't think I saw that area! ❤️
Pondicherry, Puducherry, Chandannagar was French colony for so long.8:23 They could be gay couple.
I loved seeing the French influence there! 😍
Next time you come mumbai please visit mahim church & bandra mount marry church
Ohhh I don’t think I visited either of those! Next time 🥰
@@NataliesPassport ok we will meet in bangkok
Which earbuds are you using to record your audio ?
Actually 90% of my videos are just recorded on my iPhone (no microphone or anything). The headphone I’m wearing in the video is because I travel alone so I’m always listening to music 😅😅😅🤣❤️
When r u coming to Kerala?
My next video is from Kochi! 😍 another amazing city in India!!!
If you are still in india, thank god you are not in delhi today. It's raining and is full of traffic.
Her videos are too late like 2-3 months late
Yes, it’s full of traffic and it’s a part of life like any other countries have. Travelling isn’t what problems we have in life, travelling is about to find yourself and explore. Get educated bruh and I heard South Indians are educated. Sorry for you 😊
@@Backpackglobalvlogs dude I m from lajpat nagar, delhi. Kya faltu ki bakchodi hai? It's raining in delhi & there is traffic right now. Faltu ka bakwaas lga rakha he. baarish ho ri he aur traffic v he. Le Hindi me v bol diya.
@@Ninetieschillout you are full of complaining bruh baarish ho rhi h traffic bhi h look what did you comment on which videos. It’s about travelling so what are you u complaining for rain and traffic. Some travellers love rain and traffic too and some are not. So u mean in rainy season and traffic people shouldn’t travel why? Is there any high alert or any notifications by state government? Live a real life bruh. Peace ☮️
@@Backpackglobalvlogs Jaa be gawar kya moo lagu tere. Frustrated fellow. Abe Jaa. 👍
come auroville for the techno my g!
I really wanted to visit Auroville, but I actually didn't make it!! Guess it's an excuse to visit Pondicherry again next time I'm in India 🥰
Hii
Can you please tell.me .hows the whether now, when did you actually visit pondicherry
I was there back in February actually 🙈 I’m just so behind on editing 😭
@@NataliesPassportso true … ur video releases are like Christmas, would love to see ur vlogs more often. You should rather do longer raw videos with minimum editing
You are still in india? I thought you after Himachal Pradesh vlog.
I'm not in India anymore - I'm back living and working in Bangkok. But I still have like 7 videos from my trip to India that I need to edit! I actually went to Himachal at the beginning of my 3 month India trip 😍
What is your hair care tips … since you travel a lot
😅🙈😅 mmmm I cut my own hair lol. The only money I spend on my hair is getting keratin once or twice a year to keep it straighter. Which I had just done a week or so before this when I was in Delhi 🥰
@@NataliesPassport thanks . I am 15 yr old boy and due to hair fall issue thinking of shaving my head for good hair but it’s scary
Is it safe to visit pondicherry now
I would hope so?! When I was there it seemed SUPER safe! 😍
Just wondering when Pondy was unsafe?
Nice vlog❤. Welcome in 🇮🇳
Thank you 🥰
Try south Indian food madam
I didn’t really have any in Pondicherry (too many bakeries 😍) but I did in other places!
Visit Andaman or Lakshadweep pls.
I really want to! 😍😍
@@NataliesPassport did you know they exist?
How do you reach Puducherry from Chennai ?
I took the train! Both Chennai and Pondicherry have really central train stations 🥰
@@NataliesPassporthow long did the train take?
Where your cape Lois Lane?
😅😅😅
👍👍👌👌🙏🙏❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
