An exhibition sheds a new and interesting light on Vietnam’s people and land to fellow countrymen and international friends in France.

The Vietnam Cultural Centre in France is exhibiting more than Vietnamese 500 books, including literature, poems, novels, short stories, and books on Vietnamese customs, its landscape and cuisine. Many of them have been awarded by the State, the Vietnam Writers’ Association and international organisations.

The exhibition also showcases a number of books on Hanoi to mark the 1,000^th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi and works by writers, translators and researchers in France like Luong Can Liem, Doan Anh Thuan, Alain Ruscio and Dominique De Miscault.
