Fairytale town in Jeju <Jas de Bouffan자드부팡>
Here is ‘Jas de Bouffan’, looking like a village from Europe. ‘Jas de Bouffan’ is named after Paul Cezanne’s vacation home in South France. The main area is built with red bricks, and the opposite building looks like a green house; all in all, it has an exotic European look. All the interior items, even the lights, were carefully selected and decorated.
Their signature menus are ‘Maritozzo’, the Italian dessert made of brioche buns filled with whipped cream, and ‘Coconut cream latte’, coconut latte with tiny pieces of brioche on top. If you’re not a fan of whipped cream, ‘Green onion cream cheese maritozzo’ is a great alternative. It’s a good combination of sweet and salty.
After the sweet relaxation, don’t forget to take a perfect shot in a beautiful space filled with nature’s colors.

Sujin’s wish, ‘Horseback riding
’Enjoy in the forest <Horseback riding experience>
Don’t worry, beginners! With basic training, you can enjoy horseback riding safely. There are various routes for you to choose, from ranch way trail to meadowy forest trail filled with phytoncide, and Oreum forest trail where you can go halfway up to the Oreum. If you’re confident enough, try outdoor riding (where you can go outside the riding stables and enjoy nature), where you can take a walk in the meadow or Oreum, or run on a beach with the horse.
You might feel nervous at first, but soon you will find yourself speeding up with the pleasant sound of horse’s hoofs. Take a slow walk in the forest, and then you will feel much healthier inside and out from all the phytoncide you inhaled.
Athletic girl, Monday’s pick
Exciting activity, <Oreum mountain bike ATV>
If you want to feel excitement in Jeju’s nature, an ATV will be a good choice for you. However, for your safety, you need to wear protective helmets and practice driving first. Before buckling down to it, drive a small track slowly to get used to driving it.
Start the engine, drive the paved road for a while, and then you’ll get into the off road. As you drive along the bumpy road, you will feel excitement and adrenaline pumping up. Drive along the cypress tree forest trail and speed up. It feels like all your stress is gone with the wind. There are some photo opportunities in some spots in the middle of the drive course.

Perfect activities for fun Jaehee
Enjoy Jeju’s scenery <Jeju rail bike>
Let me introduce ‘Jeju rail bike’, where you can go around hot spots in Jeju and experience some activities. Through this activity, you can see Yongnoon-ee Oreum, Darangshi Oreum, Seongsan Ilchulbong, Susan Wind Power Generation Complex, as well as relaxed cows at grass.
It’s a great activity to enjoy Jeju because you can see different scenes by season and by weather. The bikes are semi-automatic, so you don’t need to sweat over stepping on pedals, and it gives you a thrill when you go down the hill as it gets faster and faster.
The photo zone you will see as you exit the boarding area will be a great background for your pictures because of its vivid colors. Aside from the rail bike, there are lots of attractions, such as an animal farm, cafes, gift shops, etc.
