STRAND

This wide, paved sidewalk is 1 km long and is dotted with beautifully maintained trees. Strolling along it is a real pleasure, especially since you are left absolutely alone. You can meet some of the teachers who speak fluent French at the college which is right next to the Rabindra Bhawan. They will be happy to discuss with you. Then take the opportunity to taste Rabindranath Tagore's favorite sweet, Jalbhara Sandesh, made with rose water. The great-grandsons of its inventor still have a store in Chandernagor.
