    Franshhoek can be loosely translated to French corner. An area which was given to the French huggenots of the 1680s to grow vineyards. Surrounded by the Drankenstein mountains, when you are in Franschhoek, you could be anywhere near the world. Colonial whitewashed buildings graces the vibrant streets of the food capital city of South Africa. A behive of shopping, Beligian chocolate tasting and the very best place to have lunch.
