About 1.2 km rocky seafront along Goubert Avenue, from the War Memorial to Dupleix Park, lined with statues and heritage buildings.
The Promenade is the seafront of Puducherry town, a walkway of about 1.2 km on Goubert Avenue beside the Bay of Bengal. It runs from the French War Memorial to Dupleix Park and passes the Mahatma Gandhi statue, the Old Lighthouse and the Chief Secretariat. The shore is lined with rocks, so it is a place for walking and sea views rather than swimming.
