French Fort Louis
French Fort Louis, located in Puducherry, was a significant French fort built around 1701 by François Martin and completed by 1706. It was designed in a pentagonal shape with five bastions and served as the citadel of the city, separating native and European settlements by a canal.
The fort played a crucial role in defending the French colonial settlement and was central to the organization of the town into the European "White Town" and native "Black Town" areas. It was destroyed by the British in 1761, and today its former site is near Bharati Park in modern Puducherry, with only ruins and historical references remaining.
The fort’s architecture reflected French military engineering influences and its historic legacy remains an important aspect of Puducherry’s colonial past.
