A Visit to the French General Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City: A Journey into Classic French Architecture and Culture

On September 20, 2024, Hoa Sen University students had the special opportunity to visit the French Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, as part of the European Heritage Days celebrations. This rare event allowed students to explore the elegant and historic French Consulate, an architectural masterpiece from the 19th century.

Nestled on bustling Lê Duẩn Street, the French Consulate preserves the timeless charm of classic French architecture. From the intricate stone columns to the graceful arches and the lush gardens, every corner tells a fascinating story of history, transporting students to a space that feels both majestic and romantic.

With its rich heritage, the French Consulate serves not only as a diplomatic hub but also as a symbol of the enduring relationship between France and Vietnam.

The visit went smoothly, leaving the students with cherished memories. They were captivated by the beautiful, tranquil grounds and the harmonious blend of French architectural design with the tropical setting of Vietnam. This visit offered more than just a glimpse into French culture; it provided an incredible chance for students to expand their perspectives and enhance their historical knowledge.

Hoa Sen University would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the French Consulate for making this meaningful visit possible. We look forward to continuing this partnership and offering our students more cultural explorations in the future.
