The program was designed and hosted by French President's wife Brigitte Macron.
The program began with a tea party near the square of the ancient village of Saint-Paul de Vence. The ladies and gentlemen admired the panoramic view of the ancient village, toured around the galleries and took pictures together.
Afterwards, the delegation visited the Maeght Museum - which houses one of the largest collections of modern art in Europe, including paintings, sculptures, drawings and graphic works by famous 20th century figures such as Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Alexander Calder...
The ladies and gentlemen were introduced to the works of art and the garden displayed Arman's sculptures.
At La Colombe d'Or restaurant - where Pablo Picasso, Jacques Prévert, Yves Montand and James Baldwin... used to frequent and leave behind works of art, Mrs. Brigitte Macron welcomed special guests to France and took them on a tour of the ancient village to see the scenery and learn more about the country's artistic traditions. She hoped that the ladies and gentlemen would have a wonderful visit and leave many impressions.
Sharing here, Madam Le Thi Bich Tran thanked the French President's wife for having the idea of organizing the program, along with the participation of the wives and husbands so that everyone could meet and share interesting things with each other.
Mrs. Le Thi Bich Tran said that Vietnam is a country with more than 3,000km of coastline, blessed with many majestic landscapes. The Prime Minister's wife shared her concerns about social issues and empowering women and children.
She hopes that in the near future she will be able to welcome her husbands and wives to Vietnam to admire the natural beauty and rich culture and history.
The ancient village of Saint-Paul de Vence was built in medieval times on the top of a small elliptical hill, surrounded by a high wall, surrounded by fields of grapes and olive trees.
The village became a mecca for artists, who came here from 1920. Among them, Picasso, Dufy, Matisse and Marc Chagall stayed and created great works.
The old streets of Saint-Paul de Vence are so narrow that the widest one is only about 1 meter wide. Along these streets are shops displaying famous works of art, from originals to reproductions, in a variety of materials and genres such as paintings, sculptures, glass…
Also during her working trip to France, Mrs. Le Thi Bich Tran visited the French Senate and National Assembly Library, Le Palais Garnier Opera House and the Louvre Museum.
