Petite France & Italian Village

Opened in 2008 above Cheongpyeong Lake, this cluster of brightly painted houses is themed on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, with a memorial, orgel (music-box) and marionette exhibits and a much-photographed hillside of French façades. An adjoining Italian Village adds a Pinocchio theme, and the sets are famous from K-dramas such as Beethoven Virus, Secret Garden and My Love from the Star. It pairs naturally with Nami Island and the Garden of Morning Calm on a Gapyeong day.
