Why to talk of the Centre of Ecole Française d’Extrême Orient (EFEO) on our blog?
Because the whole structure and the roof of the Centre of EFEO were renovated by Chalet & Bamboo Co., Ltd.
The work has been finished last July, just before the inauguration.We are proud to have contributed to this project.
