About Hô-Chi-Minh-Ville

Hô Chi Minh-Ville, souvent encore appelée Saïgon, est le pôle animé du Vietnam : monuments coloniaux, histoire de guerre et cuisine de rue superbe.

Le 1er arrondissement concentre les principaux sites à distance de marche : la cathédrale Notre-Dame en briques rouges, l'élégante Poste centrale et sa salle voûtée, l'Opéra colonial et l'Hôtel de Ville orné. Le palais de l'Indépendance conserve ses salles telles qu'elles étaient à la fin de la guerre, et le musée des Vestiges de la guerre raconte le conflit avec une franchise saisissante.
