Yanam

Yanam is the famous place which is located on the eastern coast of the country. This city is situated in the Indian union territory of Pondicherry of East Godavari. This city is bounded by rivers Coringa and Godavari. This place has a flat land which is well suited for agriculure as the soil here is fertile. Yanam was once a French colony and is presently a part of the Union Territory of Pondicherry. The French presence is seen in the stained glass work of the local church dating back to 1769 and at the French cemetery. Yanam has its share of fascinating stories about French ghosts haunting the French colony. The ancient church has a plaque paying tribute to a young French soldier by the name of Victor Simonel who died fighting heroically in a battle at the tender age of 22. This heightens the slightly melancholic mood of the place.
