Cipete, a charming neighborhood in South Jakarta, has become a popular hub for the French expat community, thanks to its proximity to the French International School, Lycée Français de Jakarta. Unlike the busier, more commercial Kemang, Cipete offers a quieter, residential vibe. The area is known for its narrow streets, where locals and expats live side by side, and for its hidden gems like cozy coffee spots and authentic French bakeries.
