Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Page from L'Illustration's Atlas de la France et de ses colonies (1938) showing maps of the five non-contiguous établissements (settlements) forming French India.

The top right inset shows the établissement of Pondichéry (English: Pondicherry) with its separate exclaves (now Puducherry District). The bottom left inset shows the établissement of Karikal (now Karaikal District). The smaller insets show the établissements of Chandernagor (now Chandannagar, a suburb of Calcutta), Yanaon (now Yanam District) and Mahé (now Mahe District), as well as a map of the capital city of Pondichéry and vicinity).

While Chandernagore is now part of Western Bengal, the other four former settlements now constitute the four districts of the Union Territory of Puducherry.
