A representative of the French Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City said that this is the first year the program has been organized, aiming to bring the European Christmas atmosphere closer. Attending the market, visitors can experience activities such as enjoying traditional Christmas cakes, sipping hot wine or finding gifts for relatives and friends from European handicraft and decoration stalls. Children also have the opportunity to try horse riding.
The French Consulate General believes that this fair will be the perfect choice for families, friends or couples who want to spend time together, immersing themselves in the upcoming Christmas atmosphere.
The mansion's garden is over 1.5 hectares wide with many ancient trees and is home to ferrets, squirrels and rare birds. Every year, during the "European Heritage Days", the French Consulate General's mansion is also open to visitors for free.
