    Saigon bids Givral and the Eden Centre farewell

    By Mark Bowyer / Last updated 23 Aug 2010
    Saigon's Eden Centre and its legendary Givral Cafe face imminent demolition. Looking across Saigon's most historic square - home to the former South Vietnamese National Assembly and the Continental Hotel, Givral has been at the centre of Saigon life for decades. As Saigon remembers the 35th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, its architectural past is rapidly disappearing. In this video, we capture some images of the last days of the Eden Centre and Givral Cafe.

    Rusty Compass listings are always independent. We list the places we think are worth knowing about. Our Featured Listings allow a small selection of businesses already recommended by us, to pay a fee for a place at the top of our list. That’s it. Featured Listings have no impact on reviews, or on the curation and independence of our lists.
