Nami Island & Petite France: A Classic Gyeonggi Day Trip from Seoul

Nami Island (Namiseom), located in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, is built around the concept of a “Fairy Tale Village and Song Village.” The island hosts cultural events, concerts, and exhibitions that give families, couples, and artists a memorable space to explore.

Visitors can enjoy the Song Museum, Picture Book Playground, MICE Center, and activities such as the Charity Train, Story Tour Bus, and bicycle rentals along tree-lined paths. Restaurants use carefully selected local ingredients, and Hotel Jeonggwanru offers themed stays for guests who want to extend their visit.

For international travelers based in Seoul, Nami Island is one of the most popular half-day or full-day escapes — especially in autumn when ginkgo and maple foliage line the central paths.

Petite France is a French cultural village in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, designed around the theme of “flowers, stars, and the Little Prince.” The village includes a memorial hall dedicated to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an Orgel House with a 200-year-old music box, a French housing exhibition, and galleries featuring the Gallic rooster — the national symbol of France.

Holiday Tour day packages often combine Nami Island with Petite France so inbound guests can enjoy both lakeside nature and themed photo spots in a single itinerary with one meeting point and round-trip transport from Seoul.

Most Holiday Tour packages include designated meeting points in central Seoul, ferry access, and English-friendly guidance on your voucher. Arrive 10 minutes before departure and keep your mobile voucher ready.
