THE HISTORY

Franschhoek

After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in France in 1685, when Protestantism was outlawed, hundreds of so-called Huguenots fled their homeland, 277 of them arriving by ship at the Cape of Good Hope. Many were given land by the Dutch government in a valley called Oliphantshoek (Elephant Corner), so named because of the vast herds of elephants that roamed the area.

Soon after the Huguenots settled here, the area became known as Franschhoek (French Corner). The heritage lives on today with the Huguenot Monument standing proudly at the top of the village. The museum nearby chronicles the history of those brave pioneers.

Linger a while and savour the hospitality, ambience and sheer beauty of the enchanting tapestry that is Franschhoek.
