Maison
Perumal is the new CGH Earth
Experience at Puducherry (Pondicherry),
India. This is where french elegance meets Indian exotica.
Former French Colony of Pondicherry is now a stylish getaway
just 160 kms South of Chennai on the East Coast Road.
The
heritage structures around the french quarters of the town
have a romantic feel and Maison Perumal is an amalgamation
of French and Tamil styles. Situated in the Tamil Quarter,
Maison Perumal is one of the rare Tamil quarters to get restored
to its original glory.
The
Maison's traditional Tamil personality comes through in its
two courtyards, the Thalvaram (Street Verandah) and the Thinnai
(Verandah around the house). The fluted pilaster and arched
windows give it a french charm. With just 10 rooms Maison
Perumal has a very cosy feel. The resort has a small staff
that manage it like a home.
Because
its a melting point of cultures, Puducherry is known for its
restaurants. Maison Perumal's Creole Cuisine which is a typical
amalgamation of French and Tamil flavours. At the restaurant
food is served with homely warmth. CGH Earth as its done with
other experiences, has extensively researched french sea food
and its the speciality of the restaurant.
