Korean charms

Take a week to discover this ultra developed country that has preserved its authenticity, its traditions and its ancient heritage.

Destination South Korea to discover, during a tailor-made tour, the traditions and the many sites listed as World Heritage by Unesco. From Seoul, economic capital to Gyeongju, spiritual capital, limitless modernism and secular art of living coexist in this Southeast Asian country.

Seoul and Gyeongju, the two faces of South Korea

A trip in South Korea, this is the opportunity to discover one of the most beautiful destinations in Southeast Asia, a country divided between an art of living and ancient traditions, and a galloping modernity. Two very different aspects that coexist yet.

Seoul the hectic

If Seoul is the economic capital, Gyeongju is the spiritual capital. The first is the essential entry point for anyone wanting to set foot in South Korea. Besides the skyscrapers, the city, several centuries old, has many monuments and remarkable places. Among these, Changdeokgung Palace, Jongmyo Shrine and several royal tombs from the Joseon dynasty are listed as World Heritage by Unesco.

Gyeongju, the museum city

On the south-eastern coast, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla, Gyeongju, is full of vestiges and real treasures listed as UNESCO World Heritage. Among these, the cave of Seokguram or the Bulguksa temple.

Suggestions for your tailor-made tour in South Korea

Besides Seoul and Gyeongju, South Korea offers many other attractions to discover during your tailor-made tour. Thus, for a total and exotic immersion, you can for example attend a show of Byeolsingut, the dance of the masks, or sleep in a hanok, a traditional house formerly exclusively reserved for the nobles and the fortunate.

Finally, during your tour leading you from Seoul to the magnificent Suncheon Bay, do not hesitate to stop at the Haeinsa Temple, a Mecca of Buddhism which houses the Tripitaka Koreana made up of several thousand wooden tablets.
