Whilst walking around Vietnam, you may have to do a double take when suddenly being confronted with a typically French building. Architecturally, the French left their mark throughout Vietnam \u2013 all of the cities have a number of stately structures that date from colonial times and, in many cases, they carry on serving the same function as they did under the French. This kind of architecture was developed in parallel with the process of colonial exploitation of the colonialism. Particular characteristics of geographical and climatic conditions are relatively different; as a result, the European-style architecture had to have certain changes in order to harmonize Vietnam\u2019s conditions.\u00a0While many of the old French residences have crumbled badly, others have been renovated and given a new lease on life as upper crust hotels full of French trimmings or restaurants.<\/p>\n
