The French colonized Vietnam and as a result, influenced the cuisine, hence the use of the baguette in the Bahn Mi sandwich. You would be shocked by the number of outstanding French bakeries in Vietnam, but there they're just called "boulangeries" (bakeries in French). They don't preface it with the word French, as it's simply become so engrained with their national cuisine that there's no reason to make the distinction. With the exception of the Boba tea, smoothies and some of the more Americanized versions of the Bahn Mi (i.e. the aforementioned Pesto Turkey), everything on the menu is Vietnamese.
