The works depict majestic natural scenes, from the El Biar mansion, the cypress trees of Menthon-Saint-Bernard, to the forested shores of Lake Geneva, reflecting the king's thoughts and homesickness.

The exhibition is open until April 6. According to the Organizing Committee, the event not only marks an important turning point in the journey of preserving Hue's cultural heritage but also serves as an artistic bridge between Vietnam and France.
