Gamcheon Culture Village's Little Prince House: Is It Worth It?

Last March, in Gamcheon Culture Village (감천문화마을), Saha-gu (사하구), Busan (부산),

this place newly opened.

​

​

Little Prince House

It's a place where even the colorful alleyways make your heart flutter.

Passing through these alleys, you'll find the impressive blue building of

Little Prince House.

This place is, with the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation (프랑스 생텍쥐페리 재단) in France,

established through an official partnership,

Korea's only multicultural space dedicated to The Little Prince.

It opened to commemorate the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France.

If you're a fan of The Little Prince,

I highly recommend you visit!

Getting There: Choosing Your Course is Key

Gamcheon Culture Village has many hills and stairs,

so how much energy you use depends heavily on which path you take.

I've organized the routes starting from the village's information center.

​

Red Course: the shortest route for the quickest arrival

Green Course: the main tourist route for enjoying the village scenery as you walk

Orange Course: recommended if you have a stroller due to its gentle slope
