Provins was home to one of the largest agricultural and trade fairs of the Middle Ages,and a typical town in the province of Champagne.
The exhibition also presents the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long - Hanoi, registered on the world heritage list in August 2010, the center of power for more than 1,000 years of Vietnamese history and unique proof of the evolution of Vietnamese civilization in the history of the monarchical state development in Southeast Asia and East Asia.
Both cultural heritage sites are located in the heart of important ancient cities of thousands of years of France and Vietnam.
The exhibition also presents some unique world cultural heritages of the two countries, showing the desire to expand cooperation with other world heritages in general and those of France and Vietnam in particular to exchange experiences in heritage conservation, exploitation, promotion and tourism development.
