The Association of Vietnamese People in France (UGVF) and the Vietnamese Cultural Centre in France jointly organised a Tet Festival at Pavillon Baltard in the outskirts of Paris on February 1, which attracted a large number of Vietnamese people.

The event has been held annually so that overseas Vietnamese can gather to welcome the Lunar New Year together.
