Very nice and interesting day at the Huguenot Memorial.

Overall, Franschhoek is a stunningly beautiful town. Clean, buzzing with activities and extremely welcoming. Definitely a place worth visiting for a day trip or a weekend away.The Huguenot Memorial Monument is a sight to see. A ticket from the museum will give you access to the museum, the perfume museum and the monument. A must see when visiting Franschhoek.

Beautiful! Both me and my running partner have a French Huguenot ancestry, so it was a special experience finishing our Comrades Virtual Marathon 2021 at the Huguenot Monument.

My 1st visit. Loved it

Nice in Summer weather like today. Outdoor with plenty plealnty of space for different activities. Has another open space (park) across. Accessible too with beautiful mountain views

Amazing place to go to for a Sunday afternoon drive. So much to see and so much to do. Art gallerys, shops and restaurants galore. All I can give is my opinion of what I experienced and I had a great one. All of this to see in Franschhoek.

Awesome

Beautiful....gardens are well kept. While we stools outside as entrance still closed to public we googled and read all about the statue and all the symbolic representations around it. Very interesting part of history !!

Hi, well its one of those Sunday lunch places, if you know what I mean.Relaxed, clean and most importantly,, friendly.This is one of the highest rating Ive ever given any place.Enjoy!

Weather was abit overcast & also we werent allowed in cos the gates were locked 🔒. Always an amazing site to visit the area.

Beautifull and secure. My mother was laid to rest there at the graveyard. One of the most secure graveyards ive ever visited.

We did a fun run with the Suzuki Club over the pass and stopped here for a break. Beautiful place.

Gorgeous monument rich with cultural heritage. Surrounded by scenic mountains and Franschoeks exquisite restaurants.

Entrance fee R80/person.A well looked after Museum showing how history can never be repeated, beautiful garden/monument to honour people who fought for their right

A must stop, beautiful surroundings and mountains. Franshoek is a must stop, stunning scenery.

Beautifully renovated. Very insightful.

I found this very interesting. There was a great deal of influence from french Huguenots here, more than I would have thought and a lot of focus on this as well.

The monument hosts the Franschhoek Cap Classique and Champagne Festival.Most of the time this festival falls on the last Saturday of November till first Sunday in December.Once that first bottle pops, you know the festive season has officially started.

Nice to learn the history.

Well kept monument.

For the love of chocolate and the country side 😍 and lets not forget the restaurants 🥰🥰🥰

Had an amazing time reconnecting with our history at the French Huguenot Museum and Memorialin Fransschoek. Quite insightful and an added year by year historic display that affected the French Huguenots. Entree Fee affordable to all

A very Interesting historical visit.. worth a visit also to the museum...in Franschhoek

Franschoek has a calmness about it that will make you feel refreshed and rejuvenated when you leave...😁😘❤💞🙏💯

A serene spot that caps off Franschhoeks main road in the quaint downtown. Entry to the memorial is paid, so many folks just enjoy the views from the free side.

Lovely informational museum and perfume museum, my friend and I visited the gardens before the closing time and arrived back at the gate to exit at 16h45 on Monday afternoon 22nd March the holiday to celebrate human rights day but the gates were locked and we could not exit the museum or gardens through the gates because the gates were locked and the staff did not check whether everyone that entered had exited before licking the gates. My friend and I who are in our 60s had to climb over the wall to exit the museum.

What a peaceful and tranquil environment! The amount of energy around here is amazing :)

A place to marvel at. Beautiful setting

A monument to remember the history of the French Hugenotes next to the museum.

Huguenot memorial in Franschhoek, South Africa...

Always so pristine.

A beautiful historical monument with a picturesque mountain as a backdrop. Unfortunately the limited opening hours restricts entry to scores of visitors who always descend on Franschoek.

Sadly closed on. Sunday 😔but if u looking for nice outdoor free picnic spot just off to right.. Great park with wide open space just enuf trees to have a shady midday picnic😁

Beautiful place but now you have to pay to visit what was free

Couldnt enter because of Covid-19 restrictions

Large memorial in a large grassy field. It is pretty, but if we had not had our guide would not have know what the memorial was about (the sign was stolen). You do have to view the memorial from a distance so it tends to loose a lot of its grandeur and interest from afar.

The gardens are so beautiful!

Beautiful Scenery. The Monument and artwork is amazing.

Beautiful

A memory for the older ones. But a tranquil scene and place

Beautiful area indeed, very spacious and easy on the eye... I love it!

Spent some time with history

An historical place, very peaceful and lovely.

Really well-maintained landscaping and scenery at the monument. An extremely beautiful sight to definitely visit when in Franschoek!

Well maintained and in good shape. Only thing is, the info plague outside the gates has been removed. Most pelagic by vagrants.

Place was close, no entrance, you can really leave gates open, otherwise people will jump over wall to visit...

Beautiful place.Peaceful and quiet.

Beautiful place

What a beautiful Monument. To the groundbreakers!

Thia is the best view from the center of Franschhoek! The montains around are so beautiful!

Cannot access the memorial without access fee

Lovely place to visit, however, I think the fee to enter is a bit high, R80. Please reduce the cost to a reasonable amount for South Africans.

Most beautiful town in Africa, just very expensive

I was there, on my first visit to Franschoek. We couldnt get close. Looked wonderful., but felt out of touch. But the monument amd the building is rather impressive.

In my town always pass it every day on the way home always worth a look

Wonderful friendly staff, neat and well organised. Video is a must.

A good sight view place for everyone local or outside people, beautiful mountains and also a pass

Friendly staff. Beautiful monument. Great history.

It was lovely as a local, to be enjoying our tourist attraction and historical monuments. Our tour guide was also very insightful.

Nice surroundings and a small museum and a park

Not open for some reason.... wanted to take photos here, but gate was locked.🥺🥺🥺

Its just so beautiful.

Beautiful area in the Western Cape

Uniquely Amazing Place

Love my home town

So much history ❤

Beautiful place

Great place to learn about your heritage and forefathers!Well maintained, clean and neat.Tickets arent very expensive and service is prompt and friendly.Fun day out for families and even couples.Definitely go check it out, you will find at least some information on where your family came from.

Not open on Sundays

Monument is closed but you can click the picture from outside.

Historical place.

Opening hours posted 9am. Showed up 10am, locked. Wednesday. Not a holiday. Disappointed.

Living in History through nature

Great place to explore & have a picnic. The benches under the monument are covered so there is shade, & the lawns are huge so kids love stretching their legs. While you are there, pop into the museums (though it might get be best to skip the perfume museum if you have small or energetic kids, or a sensitive nose.

Classic beauty

Quient surroundings

Beautiful piece of history

My home town stay all the years in the little village food and wine meca of western cape

Would have been cool if the gardiner didnt sit under the monument and leave his tools leaning on the wall. I could maybe have got a couple of usable photos. Not great.

Peaceful foto place

Beautiful site and area

SPECTACULAR

Nice, Serene, well kept green area.

Beautifully preserved. Peaceful place to reflect and appreciate such beauty of nature and the gardens. Worth a visit.

Full of symbols memorial

Franschoek in France. Bastille festival in July

Beautiful place and very hot weather

Magnificent monument. Lovely grounds to picnic on

Ive been there twice. First time was a few weeks ago on a boiling hot day and there was no air conditioning. Today I returned and alas there was a/c. Highly recommended for history lovers and those who like all things Franschhoek. Very informative. Some facilities could do with improvement.

A nice monument at the end of the road in dedication to those who founded the area.We didnt see the value in the entrance fee though.

The gates were locked for the couple of days that we visited Franschoek so we were never able to actually get into the main area and take a close look. Also the information sign that was on the outside wall isnt there any more so you cant actually read anything in person. I ended up just reading the wikipedia article on the town. Essentially there isnt a whole lot to see.

Beer tasting and lo ely burgers at the bovine

Supper please !!!🌞🌺🌹
