Visitors to the exhibition, which will be open until the end of December 2023, can learn about the citadel through panels presented in French, English, and Vietnamese and from leaflets, books, and souvenirs.
In particular, a video on the exceptional values of the Thang Long Imperial Citadel will help them gain a general overview of the ancient city of Hanoi.
According to Ambassador Le Thi Hong Van, Head of the Permanent Delegation of Vietnam to UNESCO, showcasing images of Thang Long Imperial City in Provins not only represents a meeting of two world heritage sites but is also an exemplary model of cooperation between the two localities in the field of culture and heritage.
The exhibition at Saint-Ayoul Monastery is part of cooperation between the Thang Long - Hanoi Heritage Conservation Centre and the city of Provins, marking 10 years and 20 years, respectively, since the Thang Long Imperial Citadel and the medieval city of Provins were recognised as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
It is also a significant part of celebrations for 50 years of diplomatic relations and 10 years of strategic partnership between Vietnam and France in 2023./.
