Découvrez Georgetown : visite guidée du bazar à travers des marchés animés
Description
Lors de cette visite, nous explorons le quartier animé de Georgetown. Cette zone se compose de bazars spécialisés bien établis, avec de petites rues sinueuses, des entrepôts, des marchés de gros couverts, des étals de rue et des magasins de détail. Appelée à l’origine «ville noire», cette région a été créée à la fin des années 1600 après la fondation du Fort St. George. Les habitants se sont installés ici pour commercer et faire des affaires avec le fort. Une partie de la ville noire a été rasée dans les années 1700 pour créer une zone dégagée à l’extérieur de Fort St George. Les habitants de Blacktown se sont installés juste au-delà de la zone ouverte, dans ce qu'on appelait la Nouvelle ville noire. Au milieu des années 1800, la zone ouverte (la vieille ville noire) a été utilisée pour construire le grand bâtiment de la Haute Cour de Madras. En 1910, lors de la visite du roi George en Inde, Blacktown fut renommé Georgetown. Aujourd'hui, Georgetown reste un marché très actif, vendant tout sous le soleil: bracelets, tissus, fruits, légumes, épices, papeterie, bijoux, etc.
