Petite France 쁘띠프랑스

Driving through the place, you will see clusters of colorful mediterranean-like houses on one side of the rolling hills. Welcome! You have arrived at a quaint little French Village in the middle of the Korean countryside.

This was a dream come true!!! Being in a place paying homage to The Little Prince! I felt like I was walking through a storybook. All those little details, all those illustrations seeing it come to life was surreal!

It is about a 20-minute drive from the Gapyeong port to Petite France. This is the perk of booking the Packaged tour with Yong. Since this is an out of town (out of Seoul City) trip, it would be ideal to visit more places aside from Nami Island.

We drove through splendid views of the mountain-side. It was even nice to see trees that have turned bright Autumn colors.

And we have arrived!!

After paying for the entrance fee (krW8,000), you are then greeted with this picturesque scene. 

Me with the Little Prince

 Petite France is like a cultural village with antique finds, quaint cafes, french rooms where you can actually stay in (like a guesthouse), amphitheatre, souvenir shops, and an exhibit hall showcasing and celebrating the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

One of the houses that showcases antique items.

These are like the Love of Locks at N Seoul Tower. Korea is such a romantic place.

Puppets and dolls. Creepy yet fascinating. Ayoko lang magpaiwan sa kwartong madilim with these.

Super love this!
