Things To Do: The Huguenot Memorial & Musuem
  • Tip Rating:
  • A monument in memory of the French Huguenots who came to Franschhoek to enjoy religious freedom about 300 years ago, after a general edict in France which encouraged their extermination.

    In the museum one can see old bibles, furniture, silver ware, documents, relics and artefacts of that decade.

    Things To Do: Butterfly World in Klapmuts
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Klapmuts is a small village not too far from Franschhoek and Paarl if I recall well.
    The weather wasn't too good, so we decided to follow the signs to "Butterfly World". We were not at all disappointed!
    The indoor garden is beautifully landscaped with great smelling flowers and exotic plants, water features, etc. The colorful butterflies fly freely around. It's not easy, though, to catch them on film!

    There's a special section with a display that depicts the life cycle of the butterfly. You might even be lucky to see a butterfly emerging from its pupa.

    The indoor garden is open every day of the year (except 25 December) from 9 to 5, except in June, July and August (10 to 4).
