Stroll down peaceful tree-lined walkways on Nami Island to fully explore this serene setting on a lovely day tour outside of Seoul. Visit Petite France, a French cultural village that uses Parisian architecture and tranquil gardens to recreate the atmosphere of Old World Europe.
Your tour begins with convenient pickup at your hotel and transport to Nami Island, on the outskirts of Chuncheon. A seemingly untouched natural setting boasting more than 100 acres (40 ha) of lush meadows and avenues lined with chestnut and poplar trees, the isle is a beloved space for the Seoul's residents to visit and unwind from the chaos of city living. In the middle of the island, visit a large grassy field, surrounded by attractions like swimming pools, water-sports facilities, and a skating rink.
Next, head to Petite France, a charming French cultural village based on the novel Le Petit Prince. With more than 30 buildings constructed in the French style, a walking trail evoking Mediterranean coastlines, and a garden resembling a hill on the Alps, this village truly elicits the spirit of France.
Visit exhibits of traditional French costumes and take part in a variety of interactive activities, including gorgeous marionette plays, percussion musical instrument performances, and a fun soap-bubble blowing exercise. Before leaving, be sure to check out the 3-story tower overlooking the wildflower-surrounded waters of Cheongpyeong Lake.
