Part of the charm of Laos is its French colonial past. You will not only find fresh baked baguettes and homemade pate but you will also stroll along palm clad streets dotted with beautiful if somewhat decaying colonial architecture. These are in contrast though somehow meshing harmoniously with the sweeping roofs of the traditional temples of Vientiane.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
