First student trip, honeymoon, romantic getaway, family holidays, desire for exoticism, beaches and distant seas, taste for civilizations and history, attraction for wild and mysterious jungles, desire to approach cultures threatened by standardization, interest in the economy and the world, in all these cases, Vietnam appears as a privileged destination.
It is a very old country that grew up in the shadow of the great Chinese and Indian civilizations, but has managed to build an original identity. It is rich in a history that has provided architectural wonders bequeathed by a high and prodigious antiquity shaped by multiple legacies, which have been reinterpreted in a unique fusion. Testimonies of the past are not limited to monuments or architectural remains, but are the very substance of the landscapes traversed by the dikes, where the monsoon scrambled skies flow into the memory of the rice fields. Marked by the great tears of the world in the 20th century, Vietnam is also the land of memory, where battlefields devastated by unprecedented violence now demand remembrance and contemplation. Many influences that have left fascinating testimonies: pagodas and temples in the Red River delta; the Cham site of My Son near the small town of Hoi An; the imperial city of Hue; colonial architecture in Hanoi, Saigon or the Mekong delta...
Vietnam also offers sumptuous natural landscapes. From the Mandarin road that crosses the country from north to south, you can see the sea and the white sandy beaches. Mountainous and forested landscapes, ideal for a trekking in Vietnam. Karstic reliefs planted in the rice fields, exceptional site of Along Bay with more than 3,000 islands emerging from the Gulf of Tonkin, immensity of the mangrove swamp in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam displays magnificent scenery from north to south. An ideal playground for unforgettable hikes and, on the whole coast, fine sandy beaches that look towards heavenly islands... Because the Vietnamese coast is dotted with dreamy sandbanks, an invitation to long naps rocked by the sea. Splendid hotels offer havens where everything is only luxury, calm and delight. The bitter taste of adventure and the desire for idleness coexist here without difficulty. From their alternation come the most beautiful memories. Have a good trip to Vietnam!
