Franschhoek

     Franschhoek (French Corner) is a very small, artsy town that that has a couple very old buildings that are absolutely beautiful, as well as a monument to the French Huguenots who were given this area to settle in 1694.

      While the historic value of this town is an attraction in and of itself, the main allure is the gourmet cuisine which is apparently a perfect complement to the area's fantastic wines (this is according to the guide book, I don't drink myself). We got to sample some of the fantastic French gastronomy at a very exotically stocked cheese shop as well as some delightful baguette we found at another cafe.

It was sooo yummy!

   This charming town is definitely worth a visit for anyone craving a bit of French culture and some cheese!
