From Tran Le Xuan's Private Palace to Madame De Dalat
After extensive restoration and renovation, the private palace has been revived with a new look, while preserving its precious architectural and historical values.
The edifice still harbors numerous mysteries regarding the architectural and construction technologies of that era, as well as being inextricably linked to a chapter in the life of Madame Nhu - Tran Le Xuan - one of the most peculiar figures in modern Vietnamese history.
The grandeur and sophistication of the Tran Le Xuan Palace complex have earned it the affectionate nickname "Lam Ngoc (Forest Jewel) - a precious gem nestled within Da Lat's pine forests." Madame De Dalat is the endeavor to unravel the unique historical and architectural heritage of this exceptional site.
Visiting Madame De Dalat today is a journey to explore the origins of a "miniature Western town - the city of Da Lat," in relation not only to the lore of Madame Nhu but also to the many other women who contributed to shaping the captivating allure of Da Lat that persists to this day.
