Join us for a fun and fascinating walk around our picturesque village to learn about the Dutch and French Huguenot people who started farming and grew the village to service their needs.  Learn about the architecture, view the oldest building and national monuments and hear the stories of the people who lived there.  Find out what iconic animal the first settlers shared the valley with and learn why we do not speak French in our very Frenchified town!

To do this easy flat leisurely walk, all you need is the ability to walk for 2 hours and good walking shoes.  Bring your sunhat/cap and your camera phone and spend some time stepping back in time.

Franschhoek may have been initially inhabited by the Dutch, but it was the French Huguenot's who brought the wine industry to the valley and made it was it is today.  Although less than 300 Huguenot people settled here, their decendants are legionary and their family history's are beautiful and artfully depicted in the Huguenot Memorial Museum.  Alongside the museum is the Huguenot Monumnet, erected to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the Hugeunots.

Don't forget to visit the Annex to the museum on the opposite side of the road.

Behind the museum is the new Prive Perfume Museum which houses an astonishing collection of perfumes and bottles from around the globe.  A family collection now open to the public.

And when you're done there, you can take a stroll through the wild flower garden on the side of the property for a relaxing walk through indigenous Fynbos.
