The old Trang Tien street called Rue Paul Bert, is the most luxurious street of Hanoi during the colonial period right next to Hoan Kiem Lake. Over the years, this street has gradually changed its appearance but it still has a subtle nostalgia. Watch and compare Trang Tien Street today with a series of rare documentaries about Rue Paul Bert in the 40s of the last century.
