South Africa Tour: Day 26 Franschhoek
Day 26 of our virtual tour and we visit a petite piece of France (Franschhoek means “French corner” in Dutch), where French Huguenots fleeing religious persecution arrived during the late 17th century. Though they would gradually integrate into the culture of the Dutch farmers who worked the land alongside them, their cultural influences were adopted along with those of the Dutch settlers, freed slaves and indigenous Khoi and San peoples to create a rich and unique heritage befitting the splendid beauty of this majestic valley.
Illustrious wine estates, excellent restaurants and secluded countryside retreats abound in this region, Whether it’s cuisine, wine, culture or outdoor adventures you’re after, you will find that Franschhoek’s fame is well justified.
Tag 26 unserer virtuellen Tour und wir besuchen ein kleines Stück Frankreich (Franschhoek bedeutet auf Niederländisch „französische Ecke“), wo französische Hugenotten, die vor religiöser Verfolgung flohen, im späten 17. Jahrhundert ankamen. Obwohl sie sich allmählich in die Kultur der niederländischen Bauern integrieren würden, die das Land neben ihnen bewirtschafteten, wurden ihre kulturellen Einflüsse zusammen mit denen der niederländischen Siedler, befreiten Sklaven und indigenen Khoi und San-Völker übernommen, um ein reiches und einzigartiges Erbe zu schaffen, das dem Prächtigen entspricht Schönheit dieses majestätischen Tals.
In dieser Region gibt es viele berühmte Weingüter, ausgezeichnete Restaurants und abgelegene Rückzugsorte auf dem Land. Ob Küche, Wein, Kultur oder Outdoor-Abenteuer, Sie werden feststellen, dass Franschhoeks Ruhm durchaus gerechtfertigt ist.
