Four days of White Town villas, Auroville introspection, Serenity Beach surf breaks, Tamil-quarter vignettes and cafes that smell of salt and cinnamon.
Arrive Chennai (2.5-hour drive) or Puducherry airport. Transfer to a French-quarter heritage stay. Afternoon: walk the grid of mustard-yellow villas — Rue Dumas, Rue Romain Rolland, Bharathi Park, Aayi Mandapam and the French War Memorial. Sundowner at a promenade cafe; dinner at a Creole-Tamil kitchen.
Breakfast at a French bakery. Drive 12 km to Auroville — the experimental township. Viewing pass for the Matrimandir (the golden meditation sphere) must be pre-booked. Tour the Visitor Centre and village enterprises. Lunch at Auroville's solar kitchen or a forest cafe. Afternoon: Sri Aurobindo Ashram samadhi in Pondicherry.
Morning: take a boat from Chunnambar backwaters through mangroves to Paradise Beach — a shallow-water sandbar perfect for a swim. Packed lunch on the sand.
