LE VIETNAM, ma terre natale
Travel lecture in French with Phung Thi Phan. A tormented history of invasions, colonizations and wars, Vietnam’s cultural richness is fascinating. Its diverse geography is blessed with splendid landscapes, mountain ranges, endless beaches, fertile deltas and cultivated rice fields. But, its greatest asset remains its warm-hearted, dynamic and hard-working people. Come visit Vietnam, my native land.
