Seorae Maeul is a French neighborhood in Seoul, located in Banpo-dong, Gangnam-gu. It's just a small street with a variety of cafes and restaurants with a French flair. The sidewalks are adorned with the colors and pattern of the French flag and the street signs are all in Korean as well as French. Seorae Maeul (village) is home to many French expatriates who work for international companies, are restaurant proprietors, etc.
On Saturday December 5th, the inhabitants of this quarter set up their annual Christmas Market, or Marché de Noel from 10 AM to 4 PM. A lively festival with Koreans, French and others gathered together in Gingko Park. The space was small and crowded, but it was for the best as Seoul experienced its first real snow that Saturday morning. Some French friends of HSK joined us and the snow really added to the Christmas theme of this get together.
Smiles were all around and there were a lot of traditional French products for the purchasing. Some included
rillettes,
vin chaud, and homemade crêpes with nutella. If you couldn't make it to this year's Marché de Noel, I'd highly encourage you to give it a try next year!
