The village is modeled after scenes from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince," with colorful European-style buildings, murals, and installations referencing the classic novel. Visitors can explore galleries, watch traditional French marionette performances, and wander through garden terraces decorated with Little Prince sculptures.
