Shops in Tamil Quarters
Shops in Tamil Quarters are crowded and chaotic with a lot of activity and traffic at all times of the day. The names of the streets and roads are also typically Indian as against the French names in the French quarters.
The houses in this part of town have a characteristic small veranda (or a roofed platform along the outside of a house) in the front.
