Address
1063, Hoban-ro, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do
경기도 가평군 청평면 호반로 1063

Introduction
After traveling 10 km along the lakeside road from Cheongpyeong Dam, in the
direction of Namiseom Island, you will come across a cluster of white, exotic
buildings on the left-hand hillside. From its outward appearance, it would appear to
be a village that belongs on the Mediterranean coast or in a pastoral area of the
Piedmont Alps. This is Petite France, a French cultural village set in the Korean
countryside! Petite France serves as both a French cultural village and a youth
training facility (Goseong Youth Training Center), and consists of 16 French-style
buildings where visitors can lodge and experience French food, clothing, and
household culture.

The concept of Petite France encapsulates ‘flowers, stars, and the Little Prince.’ The
village contains a memorial hall dedicated to Saint-Exupery, the author of the
celebrated French novel, Le Petit Prince (1943) and as such it is called the Little
Prince theme park. It also has a gallery displaying sculptures and paintings of le coq
gaulois (the Gallic rooster), the national symbol of France; Orgel House where a 200-
year-old music box plays a sweet melody; a shop that sells herbal and aromatic
products; a souvenir shop; and many other locales where you can experience French
culture. The village can accommodate up to 200 visitors with 34 guest rooms that
hold four to ten people each. Enjoy the marionette experience and hear percussion
instruments from around the world, and also enjoy soap bubble experience.
