Notre Dame Cathedral was built between 1877 and 1883, and the stones used to create it were exported in its entirety from France.
Next to the cathedral stands the Central Post Office, finished in 1891. It is another fine example of French architecture and is Vietnam’s largest post office.
This street is not only an attraction for book lovers, it has also become a popular hangout spot for many people, especially young people on weekends, and a prominent site for tourists as well.
