Chennai is just up the road from the former French Indian colony of Pondicherry.... So this flight has an historical precedent in the Galleons that sailed from France, via Reunion to India a LONG time ago!

Reunion also has a large Tamil community who were brought in as cheap labour after the slaves were freed to work the on Reunionais Plantations.
