Looking for a wallet-friendly way to hit up Le Petit France near Seoul without shelling out for the ITX train? I gotchu! This guide is all about getting those dreamy European vibes without blowing your cash. Let’s go! ⚡

Step 1: Seoul Station → Cheongnyangni Station
Hop on Seoul Subway Line 1 (Dark Blue) or the Jungang Line heading toward Cheongnyangni Station. Both run super often, so no stress if you miss one.

Switch to the Gyeongchun Line (that light blue line heading toward Chuncheon). You’ll cruise all the way to Cheongpyeong Station—no extra transfers needed! Expect the journey to take about 1 hour 40 minutes. (ITX is quicker at around 1 hour but way pricier!)
- Subway fare: ₩2,250–₩2,650 with T-money card

Step 3: Cheongpyeong Station → Le Petit France
Here’s where you pick your vibe:
- Free Shuttle Bus: Le Petit France + Italian Village run a 20-minute shuttle from Cheongpyeong Station. Peep their schedules for exact times!
- Gapyeong City Tour Bus: A hop-on-hop-off ride that’s a YES if you wanna see Nami Island, Garden of Morning Calm and more. Day pass = ₩8,000.

Le Petit France address: 1063 Hoban-ro, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do

Money Talk 💸

ITX train (Seoul Station → Cheongpyeong): ₩5,900 each way
