France's Vision Ethique promotes Vietnam's Tourism

France’s Vision Ethique promotes Vietnam’s tourism

Vision Ethique- a French Travel Company, has coordinated with the Vietnam Culture Centre in France to introduce Vietnam tourism in the presence of many French people and overseas Vietnamese living in Paris.

Vision Ethique introduced places of interest, eco-tourism areas and biosphere diversity in Vietnam to the French public as well as its cultural beauties and tangible and intangible cultures recognised by UNSECO as world heritages.

Vision Ethique Director, Caroline Debonnaire said she has visited Vietnam many times to learn more about Vietnamese culture as she is a French citizen of Vietnamese origin.

In the near future, the company will carry out a number of eco-tourism and cultural programmes in Vietnam to help French people gain a better understanding of the Vietnamese land and people, Mrs Caroline said.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”
― Graham Greene, The Quiet American

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
