Review:

The town of Franschhoek in southwestern South Africa just north of Cape Town is a beautiful historic town that bears a lot of evidence of the French colonists who settled there in the 17th century. Visitors can explore Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve for a peaceful hike to look at some of the natural landscapes and wildflowers of the region or check out the Huguenot Memorial Museum to learn about the French settlers who came to the region centuries ago. The Francshhoek region is also incredibly well known for its wine, and visitors will particularly enjoy the Franschhoek Wine Tram, a double decker open air tram that travels between vineyards in the region.
