For along time during the colonial period, all the book of higher learning ( medical, mathematic, philosophy...) were imported from France and in French. That's why most educated Vietnamese over 60 years old speak French. From the same period we learned to like the cafe's, bakeries, vacations in cooler climate.

Oh, yes, very.
They took Vietnam as their colony for 100 years.
