Vietnam is an Asian country that is about 10,000 km away from France.

The history of exchanges between Vietnam and France, which are so far apart, is long.

In the 1500s, Catholic missionaries spread their missions in Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is currently the largest economic city in Vietnam.

In the late 1800s, Vietnam became a French territory, and also Cambodia and Laos, the French Indochina.

Home to the southern part of the Indochina Federation is Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City.

The French government will put a lot of money into Saigon, which is empty at the time, to make it an attractive city for people to stop by.

This is the basis of the city today.

Many of the historical buildings of the Saigon era remain in the center of Ho Chi Minh City.

 

統一会堂

The place where the Reunification Palace stands in the center of the city was originally the Norodon Palace, where the French Consul General of Indochina lives. Today, the Reunification Palace is a museum that retains the presidential office of the South Vietnam era.

 

Many buildings were built in the center of the city during the Saigon era.
Vietnam at that time did not have most of the building materials used in Europe,
Most of the building materials, such as bricks, cement, tiles, stained glass, etc., are authentic materials brought from France.
