Seorae Village (서래마을), often called Seoul’s “Little France” or “French Village,” is an affluent residential enclave in the Seocho District of Seoul. It serves as the primary home for roughly 40% of the French community in South Korea, a presence largely driven by the Lycée Français de Séoul (French School of Seoul) which relocated there in 1985.
Key Highlights
European Atmosphere: The main 300-metre street is paved with red, white, and blue blocks representing the French flag. You will find street signs in French and Korean, such as “Attention Ecole”.
Authentic Bakeries & Cafes: The area is famous for its high-quality bakeries. The local Paris Croissant is known for using wheat directly imported from France.
Montmartre Park: A 20,000 m² hilltop park popular for its scenic views and a community of wild rabbits that roam the grass.
Dining Scene: It features a high concentration of European-style wine bars, French bistros, and upscale Italian restaurants.
