Those art classes in school with the ubiquitous sounds of snips and snaps of paper in the air are still very fresh in our minds, aren’t they? From a simple paper boat that we once set afloat on small puddles to the more complex origami for kids, the Sri Aurobindo Paper Factory near Club Mahindra Puducherry covers it all.

If your love for handmade things knows no bounds, this is the place to be. Ranging from fine handmade to marbled paper, learn what goes behind the paper-making process. Rekindle the romance with your partner as you pen down words of love on some fine-handmade paper. Handwritten love letters and chocolates can never be a thing of the past!

This factory also has a quaint store adorned with handcrafted stationery, handmade and marbled sheets that lure you inside. Wooden shelves display photo frames, gift bags, notepads and greeting cards crafted from handmade sheets. If you do not wish to jostle your way through the crowd, try visiting the factory at 9:30 am or after 3:30 pm. While the store remains open from Mondays to Saturdays between 9:30 am and 5 pm. And if you wish to visit on a Sunday, you can go between 10 am and 1 pm. But do definitely pay a visit.
