Photos offer virtual tour of French heritage

"Thanks to these photographers, Vietnamese visitors will be given some insight into the unique and artistic characteristics of French architecture and culture, a centre of international culture and architecture," said Pham The Khang, director of the Viet Nam National Library, noting that the photographers captured unique scenes that highlight French heritage.

"Visitors float into the space of the photos," Ngoc commented." Sometimes, I feel lost in the passion of the work."

"The archiving will never be finished, it will go on as long as time continues," said Guillaume Rousson, counsellor of the French Embassy in Vietnam.

"The exhibition is the result of archiving efforts, and we hope that some Vietnamese people will get a chance to learn something about French heritage in the country first hand."

The event, which is jointly held by the French culture centre L'espace, the French Embassy in Vietnam and the National Library at 31 Trang Thi Street, Hanoi, will run until June 18.
