| There's a 'petite France' area near bangbae station, near the French international school. It wasn't cheap though. Don't ask me for directions, I went with my korean friend. |

| Yeah, it's near Bangbae. That's where the French woman hid her babies in a freezer. Nice little area. |

Sure, French town is right next to "Wee Britain," across "Belgian Alley." |

| I went to the 'French quarter' around Bangbae one night for dinner. It's certainly not very French and one has to search around a lot for an authentic French meal. But then again, we didn't really know where to go. Not very accessible so do lots of research or go with a local. |

ha! Thanks, Jeju. Your reply helped me. I don't why it should be so, but never has an OP had such an extraordinary effect on me. First time I saw it, I snickered. I read it again as more people replied, and my reaction deepened to dismissive sneering. This went on to evolve into a steaming contempt and surly derision. God knows, had it continued I would have been overcome with an unreasoning urge to march out of the office and strike down the first person I encountered, some poor fool who had done nothing at all to deserve it. And I would never have been able to adequately justify my actions, my disgust and rage to the Korean police simply by providing them a link to this thread. So again, my deepest thanks.

Great! More relief! I'm on the road to complete recovery! 
Bangbae-dong. About as much Gallic charm as a cement factory. |
