France and India : a brief historical recall
The only thing the French know is that France had started developing a strong relation with India but, after the Seven-Year War lost by France, in the Treaty of Paris (1763), France left India to be replaced by Great-Britain, keeping only five cities (Pondichery, Yanaon, Chandernagor, Karikal and Mahe) which were, of course, turned back to India in 1954 after its independence.
A trading post had been established in Pondichery by the "Compagnie des Indes Orientales" in 1670.
