French missionaries were active in Vietnam long before the country became a colony during the second half of the 19th century.
They arrived in the Central Highlands just as colonial ambitions were gathering momentum. On a recent visit to Kontum, stopped by the spectacular 1935 seminary Paris Foreign Missions (MEP) Seminary. It's a superb building with an interesting little museum as well.
