Before officially sending wedding invitations and publicly sharing wedding photos, details about the upcoming ceremony on May 8, Ngô Thanh Vân and Huy Trần enjoyed a European getaway. They engaged in snow sliding and a retreat at a romantic hotel.
The travel destination for the couple was Mont Blanc, located in the town of Chamonix, over 600 km from the capital, Paris. The name Mont Blanc, in both French and Italian, translates to 'white mountain.'
This location lies at the crossroads of France, Switzerland, and Italy, comprising 16 small villages extending from North to South, with record heights ranging from 995m to 4,809m above sea level. It is famous for activities such as skiing, mountain climbing, and paragliding.
