Perched nearly 1,500 meters above sea level on the summit of Ba Na Hills, the French Village is one of the most iconic destinations in Da Nang. More than just an impressive architectural complex, it brings visitors the enchanting feeling of stepping into a classic European town nestled in the heart of Central Vietnam.
A Space Steeped in French Elegance
The village was inspired by Gothic and classical French architecture. Pointed rooftops, stone-paved squares, old churches, and grand castles all come together to create a space that feels both romantic and mystical. If you’ve ever watched an old French film, you’ll see how this place vividly brings that vintage charm to life.
A Touch of History
In the early 20th century, Ba Na Hills was a retreat area for the French. After being forgotten for many years, the area was revitalized, with the French Village as its crown jewel. Every detail is carefully crafted to reflect the refined elegance and romantic essence of European design from the past.
Highlights Worth Exploring
The French Village offers countless picturesque corners. Highlights include a cathedral with arched ceilings and stained glass windows, medieval-style castles, and a spacious central square where artistic performances often take place. Every step here feels like walking through a beautiful movie scene.
Dining and Accommodation
The culinary scene is just as rich, with restaurants serving both European and Asian cuisines, quaint cafés, pastries, and even fine wines. For those who want to stay overnight, the village offers European-style hotels with interiors and services designed to reflect the same classic charm.
A Complete Experience from the First Step
The journey to the French Village begins with a scenic cable car ride, gliding over lush green forests and drifting clouds. The anticipation of discovering this “miniature Europe” in Vietnam makes the experience all the more magical.
