Franschhoek is a town in South Africa’s Western Cape with centuries-old vineyards and Cape Dutch architecture. Trails wind through flowers and wildlife at Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve to views over Franschhoek Valley. The Huguenot Memorial Museum and neighboring monument honor the area’s French settlers, who arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries.

A great place to start when planning your visit.
0:41 The Huguenot Memorial Museum [ Ссылка ]
Thirty six years after the Dutch established a refreshment station for passing ships at the Cape, the Huguenots settled here. Conditions, especially in the interior were of the pioneering type, and farmhouses erected in the late 17th and early 18th century were smaller, simpler and more primitive than those in the Table Valley, providing only the basic necessities of life.
