On 6 July 2025, at the ancient Saint-Ayoul Church in Provins, France, the promotional space showcasing images of the Special National Relic Site of Cổ Loa (Vietnam) was officially inaugurated.

This promotional space marks the beginning of a new phase of cooperation between the Thăng Long – Hà Nội Heritage Conservation Center and the medieval town of Provins. Building upon the promotional space for the Thăng Long Imperial Citadel that has been established and exhibited since 2022, the Center has updated and expanded its content with images and video clips introducing the Special National Relic Site of Cổ Loa under the theme “Cổ Loa – A Land of Legends.” The display includes three standees featuring: The historical values, monuments, and unique artifacts of Cổ Loa; The intangible cultural heritage of Cổ Loa (festivals, cuisine, customs, traditions); The Dragon motif at the Cổ Loa Relic Site. The exhibition is supported by video clips, QR codes, communication materials, and souvenir products.

This promotional space is an extension of the Vietnam–France cultural cooperation program, rooted in the long-standing partnership between the city of Hà Nội and the Île-de-France region, established in 1989. Through this collaboration, it is hoped that more French and international visitors will come to know and appreciate the heritage of Hà Nội and Việt Nam.
