ÃÂá»Âng Khá»Âi Street (Vietnamese: ÃÂðá»Âng ÃÂá»Âng Khá»Âi), formerly known as Rue Catinat and Tá»± Do Street, is a street in Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The street stretches from Nguyá» n Du Street, across from the Paris Commune Square, to Tôn ÃÂức Thắng Boulevard and Bạch ÃÂằng Quay, Saigon River waterfront.
The street was originally named after the French cruiser Catinat that participated in the mid-19th century attacks by France when that country was intent on seizing control of Viet Nam. The ship itself honored Nicolas Catinat, a 17th- and 18th-century Marshal of France; but application of name to prominent street was intended to remind strollers of the first step toward control of a vanquished nation by a colonial power before its present incarnation as ÃÂá»Âng Khá»Âi visitors to Saigon will remember Tá»± Do Street, as it was called by the Vietnamese after the French departed.
ÃÂá»Âng Khá»Âi Street is the location of numerous famous buildings from colonial to modern period, some of notable buildings:
