Goubert Market Pondicherry. - a photo on Flickriver

            Jill and I spent a happy, noisy photographic hour or more in this great market area of Pondicherry..
Info below from Trip Advisor..
"The Goubert Market, located at the edge of the French Quarter, is a fascinating adventure with literally hundreds of fish, fruit and vegetable stalls and a host of other items for sale as well. Be careful though, you can get lost in the narrow maze of lanes and pathways here!  This is where the local restaurants get their daily supplies and you will find row upon row of colorful fresh fruits and vegetables as far as the eye can see.

The fish market part is particularly interesting although no question the smell can be a bit overwhelming. It would appear that the men do the fishing and the woman do the selling since all 25 or 30 fish stalls were manned by women. Off to the side of main market are vendors who sell statuary, woven baskets, clothing, leather goods, jewelry and just about anything imaginable. Photo ops abound. Not for the faint of heart perhaps, it is noisy, packed to the gills with people and activity (be careful – you’ll have to give way to the “runners” with goods stacked high on their heads) and it’s easy to lose one’s way, but if you’re interested in seeing an old fashioned market in operation this is the place to see".
