Built in 1847 and situated on the main road running through the town. This valley tightly hemmed in by mountains, is named after the French Huguenots who fled to the Cape after religious persecution in 1688. They brought with them a sound knowledge of viniculture and settled down to make wine in the ‘French Glen’ where the estates and many families still have French names. There is just one main street lined with wine estates and a few antique shops, cafes and restaurants until at the end you find the impressive Huguenot Memorial and Museum set in rose gardens by a peaceful lily pond.
