Overview
Built in the early 1900s, Huynh Thuy Le Ancient House in Sa Dec combines French colonial architectural details with a traditional Vietnamese wooden interior, and is best known as the real-life home associated with the relationship at the centre of Marguerite Duras's novel The Lover. The house has been carefully restored and is open as a small museum, with much of its original furniture and layout intact.
A compact but well-preserved stop, easily combined with a wider visit to Sa Dec's flower-growing districts.
