At the corner of Asia, Vietnam is a microcosm of the immense continent in the extraordinary variety of its landscapes and rich cultural heritage. A family trip to Vietnam is therefore the promise to delight young and old alike. It is no coincidence that Vietnam is favoured by filmmakers. From the Mandarin road that crosses the country from north to south, you can see the sea and the white sandy beaches. Mountainous and forested landscapes, karst relief planted in rice fields, exceptional site of Along Bay with more than 3,000 islands emerging from the Gulf of Tonkin, immensity of the mangrove swamp in the Mekong Delta, the country displays magnificent scenery from north to south.
Vietnam is also a very old country located in the orbit of the great Chinese and Indian civilizations, but which has managed to build an original identity. It is rich in a history that has given rise to architectural wonders bequeathed by a high and prodigious Antiquity shaped by multiple legacies, which have been reinterpreted in an unprecedented fusion (Hanoi, the millenary capital, the old city of Hoi An, the imperial city of Hué, the remains of the kingdoms of Champa, in the centre of the country, in particular). But the testimonies of the past are not limited to monuments or architectural remains, but are the very substance of the landscapes traversed by the dikes, where the monsoon scrambled skies flow into the memory of the rice fields. Marked by the great tears of the world in the 20th century, Vietnam is also the land of memory, where battlefields devastated by unprecedented violence now demand remembrance and contemplation.
As for the Vietnamese coast, it is dotted with heavenly beaches, an invitation to take long family naps rocked by the sea. Splendid hotels offer havens where everything is only luxury, calm and delight. Inland, the adventure trails sink into the interior: treks on the side of the mountains covered with jungles and nights spent in the high hamlets of ethnic minorities, cycling, long motorcycle rides... The harsh taste of adventure or the voluptuousness of idleness coexist without difficulty in Vietnam. From their alternation, the most beautiful holidays are born.
Finally, Vietnam, in the heart of Asia, the new centre of the world, is also a country whose economic dynamism continues to surprise. From a stay in Vietnam, witness to this effervescence, the visitor will learn a number of lessons about the challenges of our time...
And all this without any problem accompanied by his whole tribe because, in a troubled international environment, we are surely safer here than elsewhere....
