Petite France - The Little France in Korea

We took the train via ITX Cheongchun line (board at Chyeongnyangni station) bound to Gapyeong station. When we arrived at the Gapyeong train station, we grab some brochures for the recommended attractions to visit and the timetable for the circle tour bus. We chose to take the Gapyeong Tourist Shuttle bus going to Petite France. For a fee of 6000 won you can ride to and from its 10 destinations (Nami Island, Petite France, The Garden of Morning Calm, etc).

His grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt, intends to teach the boy to become and aristocrat, but Cedie inadvertently teaches his grandfather compassion and social justice and the artless simplicity and motherly love of dearest warms the old man's heart.

The architecture of Petite France will take you to a land of fairy tale like what we dreamed of when we were kids and until now. It's okay to act like a kid. We couldn't turn back time so enjoy every single moment of your life.
