## At a glance (the answer)

LIT's 1st Jeonju store is Manchu. Location: 138 Paldal-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju — 3 minutes on foot from Gyeonggijeon, Jeondong Cathedral and Pungnammun Gate, at the Hanok Village entrance.

## Manchu — a Mont Blanc cafe at the village entrance

Manchu is known for its handmade chestnut-cream Mont Blanc — crisp meringue layered with mascarpone cream — plus chestnut Mont Blanc bingsu and custard pudding. It is one of Jeonju's best-loved dessert spots, three minutes from Jeondong Cathedral toward the Gaeksa crossroads, right where Hanok Village sightseeing begins.

## Why the Hanok Village entrance

Most Jeonju trips start at Hanok Village — where stone-paved alleys make rolling a suitcase miserable, doubly so in a rented hanbok. From Manchu, the whole downtown circuit is walkable.

- Gyeonggijeon, Jeondong Cathedral, Pungnammun Gate: 3-min walk
- Nambu Market: 5-min walk
- Gaengnidan-gil: 7-min walk
- From Jeonju Station or the express terminal, take a city bus or taxi — routes and fares are in our Jeonju Hanok Village Arrival Guide
