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.

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.

As someone from the United Kingdom who has travelled to various European countries, this place very much felt like a Disney creation of what a French village would look like. It’s really a place for kids, with a few shows dedicated towards the primary/ elementary school age bracket, one show in particular that I saw where a guy in a cone shaped jester hat and comical shoes, performed some basic magic tricks for the kids that were with their parents, and also created them various well known characters out of balloons. The place does provide some fantastic views of the surrounding mountains, and views of the Han River which provides some great photo opportunities for the adults going with or without kids.

We visited last May of 2019. Petite France is indeed cute and pretty. We also found a collection of porcelain dolls which I find it a little creepy to look at. We strolled around, but for me, nothing is too special with the place. But it is indeed “instagrammable”.

I visited Petite France with my College Euroscola Group. It is a magnificent small village, where you can wonder around and feel the fresh air against your skin. Furthermore, this small village looks like a painted picture. Truly amazing. A very good place/opportunity to take some beautiful and memorable photos as well. Enjoy!

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!

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 visited this little "fake village" in January 2019 for my honeymoon...we would like to visit Nami Island and finally we add "the petite france"... Nami Island was pretty and interesting, petite France was not the same feeling...honestly the travel was not comfortable and long way from Nami...I read also many other reviews from other people here in TripAdvisor, but not correct...first of all I visited 3 times Paris, and this village is not look like Paris at all... I already saw the French cottages in Colmar, Strasbourg, Calais etc. so this fake is not interesting...I advice to visit this place for all the people cannot go to France...this place I advertise to visit max for an hour and half...there are many many things to do better in Seoul!!!

Do not waste your precious vacation days on either one of these places..... unless you are a lover of Korean movies and culture, both places are a complete waste of time. The nature at Nami island, is mediocre at best and the experience at Petite France is less than that.

We are selecting between Petite France and Land of the Morning Calm. I am with 3 of our parents and 3 kids (9yrs old, 3yrs old and 4 months old). Which will you recommend and why? Thank you!

Garden of the morning calm is significantly better, much larger, more scenic and better value for money.

I'm searching for someone who could help out with the French language for the month of January 2015 -- and maybe more.
Can you help?
