The village of Franschhoek (French Corner), tucked into the Cape Winelands of South Africa, is known as the country's food and wine capital. Galleries and antique shops fill the tree-lined streets, and vineyards established more than 300 years ago cascade over the hills just outside town. Local activities range from wine-tasting tours to trout fishing and hiking. The Huguenot Memorial Museum honors the town's early settlers, who fled religious persecution in France.

A paragon of hospitality- orangery breakfast and pre dinner drinks delightful- and nicely quirkily decorated. A great base for the wine tram and the great restaurants of Franschhoek. June (in Covid times) was an ideal time to visit- very few tourists.
