Franschhoek: the name of this beautiful village
means literally 'French Corner', named after the many French and Flemish
Huguenots who fled Europe in 1688 to avoid religious prosecution. The lovely
town still breaths the French atmosphere with wine farm names such as Mont
Rochelle, Dieu Donné and Haut Provence. Major
tourist attractions are its wineroute, the Huguenot Museum and Monument and
the handmade chocolate factory with Belgian roots. |
