Passeport pour le Monde: Vietnam – Dans l’œil du dragon (2020)
Passport to the World: Vietnam - In the Eye of the Dragon (FRENCH VERSION - 2020)À l’honneur du mois du patrimoine asiatique, prenez un tour visuel somptueux du Vietnam. Au-delà de ses plus fameux sites, le troisième millénaire frappe à la porte des grandes villes. Mais loin de cette modernité, des régions reculées de l'ancien Tonkin vivent encore de traditions ancestrales dans des paysages extraordinaires.
In honour of Asian Heritage Month, take a decadent visual tour of Vietnam. Come and witness the third millennium knocking at the door of its big cities, while far from the modernity, the remote regions of ancient Tonkin still honour their ancestral traditions amongst extraordinary landscapes.
