Seorae Village is located in between Banpo 4-dong and Bangbaebon-dong in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

According to 2008 census, about half of the total 1,000 French citizens residing in Korea were registered to be living in Seorae Village. The area naturally took shape as a global neighborhood as many international residents settled at Seorae Village much thanks to the strong presence of French residents. In addition to its convenient location near the central district area as well as Gangnam area and Hangang River Park, Seorae Village serves as a pleasant environment space for all.


Many shops and restaurants in Seorae Village are small in size and rather charming, resembling those in Europe.
