Little Prince Lighting Festival at Petite France
Petite France is designed as a small French village in Korea, and it is also recognized as a top filming location for popular Korean dramas such as “My Love from the Star (2013)” and “Secret Garden (2011).” The design of the Little Prince Lighting Festival was inspired by Montellier, a small suburban city in southern France. All of the lights used for the decorations were directly purchased from France. The buildings painted in pastel colors harmonize with the lights strung throughout the village to create a fairytale atmosphere. Visitors can also enjoy performances and other exciting programs.
