Fifty-five photos on Hanoi taken by contemporary French photographers and a documentary photo are on display at an exhibition which opened at the Gustave Courbet Primary School in Romainville city, 15 km east of Paris , on Nov. 29.
The showcased photos depict the ancient Hanoi capital; Hanoi and the hallmarks of the colonist period; the city in war; and Hanoi and its young generations.
The exhibition uses the logo of Khue Van Pavilion by Pham Ngoc Tuan, who took part in a contest to create logos marking the 1,000 th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
Becta, a history teacher at the Gustave Courbet Primary School and coordinator of the cooperation project between his school and the Tran Phu School in Hai Phong city, said this was a good chance for him to introduce the image of Hanoi-Vietnam to his colleagues and students as well as those who want to visit Vietnam .
According to the Gustave Courbet school’s rector, Olivier Catayee, the exhibition, is part of a partnership cooperation programme on education between Vietnam and France with the first project linking the Gustave Courbet Primary School and the Tran Phu School for Gifted Students in April 2010.
It is also the focus of a UNESCO master plan on culture between Vietnam and France , which aims to strengthen cultural exchanges and discover heritages of the two countries.
Under the project, in April 2011, 24 students of the French school will come to Vietnam to exchange with their peers at the Tran Phu School and two months later, 25 students of the Hai Phong-based school will leave for France to meet Gustave Courbet friends./.
