Gapyeong Petite France

Gapyeong Petite France is located in the middle of the Gapyeong Mountains. It is best for a detour from Nami Island, a very famous tourism destination by both local and international travelers.

Its European-esque structures and vibrant yet charming environments will, for a moment, make you forget you're still in South Korea. Every corner in this lovely small town is perfectly valuable for social media enthusiasts such as IG or FB.

Due to the highly-popularized Korean soap operas as part of the Korean Hallyu wave, many Asian fans have been flocking at Gapyeong Petite France in its surrounding areas.

These fans (or 'fanatics') come to do various things such as selfies (or groupies), mini-video making, Youtubing, and photo-taking for their social media outlets, blogs, or websites.

While others take images or purchase adorable mementos to bear in mind the locations they've been to, the individual behind Petite France decided to exceed the norms.

The person must have fallen deeply inlove with France that he chose to develop a replica of among its towns.

Here you'll find pictures of Little Prince scattered all over. Most of the attractions in the town are related to Antoine de Saint-Exupery's top-selling book.

They even have a memorial hall devoted to the author himself. In addition to Little Prince, the village takes pride in its lively homes and antique galleries.
