    Not recommended unless you're a parent with kids
    This is a place made for kids. It's quite inaccessible so I do not recommend making a special trip down unless you're in the area. It's quite up the mountain and the place is made to look like France. They rely a lot on the fable tales and old antiques to appeal that visually but my family and I were not impressed. We've definitely been to other similar attractions that are more impressive in other countries.

    Little Prince Stroll Around
    I miss the innocence of having a good outlook of the world. I do like the story of the little prince but for me I rather stay in the moon. The world as it is breaks my heart. I love Korea trip and I want to go back again when I feel better. I love the butterflies on the upper path. The time I visited doesn't have much rose . I'll to try to come back in blooming season.

    Petite France Korea, a beautiful small village with amazingly picturesque view
    A very pretty place with a lot of picturesque view. I love the feel of fresh and clean air up in that modern village. I like the landscape of the place and the magnificent colors of the small houses combined with the trees and flowers.

Here's what I knew before going there. It was a little village, a replica of a French village. I expected something like the Bukchon Hanok Village, I can promise you, it is nothing like it. It a tiny fake village on a hill, you can prolly cover it in 30 mins. It's colourfully painted buildings, feels like an adult who has refused to grow up made it for his / her kids. The only thing worth seeing was the art gallery, which is not worth the 10,000 ₩ you pay to visit the village. I was really disappointed, and this was after spending time at the Morning of Garden Calm on New Years eve and Nami Island. If you are booking a package tour, do MGC and Nami Island and skip this. Unless you have kids who love the Little Prince, this might be interesting to them.

If you are going by the city designated tour bus which one of the stops is Petite France, you have to walk uphill about 300 meters to get to the ticket booth.

The slope is very steep. Unless you are going by car, then you can drive up to park near where the ticket booth is.

We have old people which is practically impossible to climb up. We also saw couples with stroller having difficult getting to the ticket booth.

Nothing much to see inside. They spilt the inner into Petite France and Petite Italy with two different tickets.

Pretty small village. Have many spots to take photos with cute little decorative objects. You can walk uphill to enjoy the lake view. I saw deers running around.

Petit France was very cute and pretty. It was good to take a picture with my family. Especially, I liked the Saint-Exupery Memorial Hall. I could see Pinocchio play because the time was right.
At the end, it rained, so I couldn't walk around well.
But it felt like I went to a small France.
I recommend you to go Petit France when you visit Gapyeong.

굉장히 귀엽고 예뻤습니다. 가족들이랑 여기저기 사진 찍기도 좋았어요. 특히 생텍쥐페리기념관이 좋았습니다. 시간이 맞아서 피노키오 연극도 볼 수 있었어요.
마지막에 비가와서 잘 돌아다니지는 못했지만 정말 작은 프랑스에 온 것 같았습니다. 가평에 오게 되면 들르면 좋을 것 같아요!

It was honestly boring and nothing we saw there was of interest to us (and I actually am a fan of the Little Prince, and have been to France). The place was also rather run-down and in need of some refurbishment. Some of the exhibits were also... kinda weird.

If traveling to Nami island, this is an essential stop-over.
A must especially for fans of The Little Prince. It's like being transported to France!

There are cafes, shows, and tons of displays for The Little Prince. One room dedicated to the writer, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

I love attempts to drum up tourism and local business, but this place was a disappointment in every way. I know you're probably forced to go here because of the tour you booked for Nami Island. If you can, skip this place and Italy Village. Total waste of time.

It is located in Nami Island. It’s a replica of what you are expected to find in France. There is also a petite Italy where you have to pay more to enter.

As someone who has been to Italy and France, I am not impressed with these replicas.

Not really worth going so far for this.
