This annual cultural event is expected to draw approximately 1,500 visitors.
Situated at 6 Le Duan Street, Saigon Ward, the building is now the residence of the French Consulate General. In the past, it was home to the French Admiral and subsequently to French ambassadors throughout the Indochina period.

The occasion offers not only a glimpse into a remarkable architectural heritage but also an insight into the history and enduring cultural influence of France in HCM City.
The highlight of this year’s programme is the introduction of immersive digital experiences, allowing visitors to delve into the building’s history and uncover little-known stories. For the first time, an audio guide will be available, enriching the tour with both convenience and depth.
In celebration of the France-Vietnam Year of Innovation, the French Consulate General will host an exhibition of French inventions in the residence’s garden. Each artefact is tied to a story of Franco-Vietnamese cooperation in different areas, providing the public with deeper insight into the ties between the two countries.
