Hue, former imperial capital of Vietnam
Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Hue is one of the most emblematic cities of cultural Vietnam.
Located in the center of the country, on the peaceful banks of the Perfume River, it was the political and religious capital under the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945).
During this period, Hue became a place of refinement, where architecture, poetry and traditional Vietnamese arts flourished.

Crossed by the Perfume River, Hue is also a spiritual city where the bells of the pagodas still resound.
The Thien Mu pagoda, perched on its hill, dominates the river and symbolizes Buddhist wisdom.
Its seven floors, steles and flower garden make it one of the most photographed sites in central Vietnam.
Hue charms with its slow pace, fragrant markets and refined cuisine, considered the most delicate in the country.
Each walk through its shady alleys reveals an imperial and poetic Vietnam, where past and present intermingle harmoniously.
