French Military Cemetery, Saigon (), was a military cemetery in Tân Sán Hòa, Tân Bình district, Gia ÃÂá»Ânh province (suburb of Saigon then, now is Tân Sán Nhất, Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam.
The cemetery was located at the Bảy Hiá»Ân intersection, in the south of Tan Son Nhut Air Base.
During the Battle of West Saigon, the cemetery was the scene of extensive fighting between Viet Cong and Army of the Republic of Vietnam forces on 6-7 May 1968.
The cemetery was maintained at French expense, but in 1982 the Vietnamese government requested that the remains be removed from three cemeteries in densely populated areas. Rather than reburying the remains in Vietnam, it was decided to repatriate them to France.
Franco-Vietnamese agreements of August 2, 1986 provided for the repatriation to France of 27,000 bodies of French soldiers and civilians from the Saigon cemetery, Và ©ng Tàu cemetery and Ba Huyen cemetery near Hanoi. All remains were exhumed and repatriated between 1986 and 1987 and later reinterred at the Mémorial des guerres en Indochine in Fréjus, France.
The former cemetery is now the Tân Bình Gymnasium and Tân Bình Exhibition & Convention Center (TBECC). Underground will have the Bảy Hiá»Ân station for the HCMC Metro Line .
