Vientiane's very own replica of the French monument, with a Laotian twist, of course. Built from concrete donated by the US government, intended for a runway. Beautiful at sunset, as the lights begin to illuminate the facade.

Restaurant/bar in yet again, an old French mansion. Excellent outdoor terrace with the the best fresh spring rolls in south-east Asia. Get your fill of cold Beer Laos on a hot afternoon and watch the world stroll by.

Lovely restaurant in one of those old French colonial mansions. Sit on the wooden porch, amidst tropical plants, caressed by the breeze from old-fashioned ceiling fans and have a delicious leisurely lunch. The four cheese pizza is to die for...honestly.

Clean, well-run, friendly guesthouse adjacent to the Mekong River. In the evening, locals and tourists sit along the river and drink the best beer in the world - Laos beer. English and French also spoken.
