Banpo-dong

Banpo-dong (Korean: 반포동) is a dong (neighborhood) of Seocho District, Seoul, South Korea.

The neighborhood is just north of Express Bus Terminal station and to the south of the Han River.

Some of the apartment buildings were built in the late 1970s but the area is considered affluent due to its central location within Seoul, proximity to the Han River Park,[3] shopping malls, and mass transit transportation options.

[4] Banpo is also famous for its French town which is called Seorae Village in the greater Gangnam area.

The area is home of Seorae Village, a small French enclave, with its large concentration of French residents and European-style restaurants, dessert cafés, as well as wineries and cafés stand along its main street.
