The Ebony gallery specialises in paintings, sculptures, furniture, handcrafted homeware and local artefacts. The dark walls and warm lighting lets each art piece shine on its own, and the soft and stylish furniture calls on visitors to be taken home.

A little piece of history. The Huguenot Monument in Franschhoek, Western Cape, South Africa, is dedicated to the cultural influences that Huguenots have brought to the Cape Colony after their immigration during the 17th and 18th centuries. You can visit the Museum right next to it as well.

Entertainment & Activities
Boschendal wine farm boasts some of the most picturesque views in the Cape Winelands, with dramatic mountain vistas visible from the lush lawns. So, it’s no surprise that the estate has become a popular picnic spot. Their two picnic lunches offer guests distinctly different experiences. But there is one similarity – the food. Only naturally grown produce from the estate, as well as locally made artisanal goods, are used, ensuring guests receive a basket filled with delicious, healthy and wholesome food. They offer two picnic areas, which are 1km apart, namely the Rhone Rose Garden Picnic and Werf Farm Picnic. Their website is https://www.boschendal.com/eat-and-drink/picnics

This is a must visit. The Farm is L'Ormarins Wine Estate. Picturesque setting, the Wine is great. The Motor Museum is also located on the farm. If you are looking for just one farm to visit, I would say this is the one. Their website is https://www.rupertwines.com/farms.php?farms_id=1.

The Tourism Office also has maps of the Historic Village Walk, a self-guided stroll into Franschhoek’s past.
Take a stroll up old ‘Cat se Pad’ walking trail which starts on your left just under 1km from the Huguenot Memorial Museum as you head out of town up the Franschhoek Pass. The walk leads into fynbos with proteas, and gives instant access to the mountains surrounding the valley, with good views. The first two-kilometre section gets you to the top of the pass, and you can keep going for another 10km in the direction of Villiersdorp (though you don’t actually reach it).
