Franschhoek Cape Winelands
Franschhoek (French Corner - Dutch spelling before 1947 Franschen Hoek) is a small town in the Western Cape Province and one of the oldest towns of the Republic of South Africa. It is about 75 kilometres from Cape Town and has a population of 15,353. Since 2000 it has been incorporated into Stellenbosch. The valley was originally settled in 1688 by 176 French Huguenot refugees, many of whom were given land by the Dutch government in a valley called Olifantshoek (Elephants' corner), so named because of the vast herds of elephants that roamed the area. The name of the area soon changed to le Coin Français (the French Corner), and later to Franschhoek (Dutch for French Corner), with many of the settlers naming their new farms after the areas in France from which they came. La Motte, La Cotte, Cabrière, Provence, Chamonix, Dieu Donné and La Dauphine were among some of the first established farms — most of which still retain their original farm houses today. These farms have grown into renowned wineries. Many of the surnames in the area are of French origin, e.g. Du Toit, Marais, Du Plessis, Malan, Malherbe, and Joubert.
The Huguenot Monument
This heritage is shown today by the Huguenot Monument which stands at the end of the town. The Huguenot Memorial Monument in Franschhoek was inaugurated on April 17th, 1948. With its simplicity and elegance of line the monument displays a historic French character.The female figure, with the Bible in her right hand and broken chain in her left hand, personifies the spirit of religious freedom. The fleur-de-lis (French lily) on her robe represents a noble spirit and character. She discards the cloak of suppression to triumph above the earth globe in its own spiritual space. Her gaze is fixed on a majestic vision of coming things. On the portrayed Southernmost point of Africa to where the frail ships transported the Huguenots, the symbols of their religion (the Bible), art and culture (the harp), the agriculture and viticulture (the sheaf of corn and grape vine) and industry (spinning wheel) are portrayed.
The three lofty arches is a symbol of the Holy Trinity. Above it the Sun of Righteousness shines, and above that the Cross as symbol of Christian faith is mounted. The water pond, reflecting the colonnade behind it, expresses the undisturbed tranquility of mind and spiritual peace the Huguenots experienced after much conflict and strife. The museum nearby chronicles the history of the first settlers, with each of the original Huguenot farms having its own fascinating story to tell. The Cape Dutch architecture in much of the village is unspoilt, as restrictions have been placed on the extent of renovations and new construction in order to preserve the spirit of the original settlers to the area. Once a sleepy country retreat, the village began experiencing a boom since the 1990s, and property prices have sharply increased. The ideal summer weather, the country side, the fynbos, the snowy peaks in winter, the refined art of living and the proximity to Cape Town have turned Franschhoek into one of South Africa's most sought after residential addresses. The construction of the new English-medium private Bridge House School outside the village has also attracted many urban dwellers to the village.
Franschhoek is notable for having some of the top restaurants in the country within its quiet borders. The strong wine culture and pristine natural and architectural beauty has made Franschhoek into what many describe as the food and wine capital of South Africa. The city hosts one of the TOP 50 restaurants in the world, according to the S.Pellegrino world's 50 best restaurants-ranking and a famous belgian Pâtisserie for belgian pralines. La Petite Ferme Restaurant for instance, offers legendary culinary delights in a unique interior decor with a stunning panoramic view on the Winelands.
The attributes of the village have turned Franschhoek into a popular tourist destination, with dozens of bed & breakfasts and small cottages available for accommodation at premium prices as well as a large used bookstore.
Franschhoek's week-end festival for Bastille Day has been celebrated for the last 15 years.

Franschhoek in the Cape Winelands
The Huguenot monument in Franschhoek - in honour of the French immigrants, who founded the village in 1688. In France persecuted for their protestant-calvinistic belief, they found a new home here at the Cape - and excelled particularly in wine-making. In the Huguenot Memorial Museum next to the monument the history of the Huguenots at the Cape is documented.
The pretty town of Franschhoek is very conscious of its French roots. French names everywhere. Particularly popular is the Main Road with many boutiques, art galleries, fine Restaurants with French cuisine and Cafés. A town in the Winelands not to be missed.

Avis Best Roads - Franshhoek Pass - South Africa
The Franschhoek Pass, also known as Lambrechts Road, follows the path of least resistance along the Middagskransberg, tracing the northern edge of the Franschhoek Mountains between the Wemmershoek Mountains and the Franschhoek Valley.
It is one of the more heart-stopping of the passes for views and vistas of the surrounding valleys, gorges and mountains, particularly the drop down to the Franschhoek River from the summit. The entrance to the Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve is located on this pass.
Franschhoek Pass is also called Lambrechts Road, though - more poetically - a hundred and fifty years ago it was known as Olifantshoek (Elephants Corner') after the now mythical herds of elephant which once roamed these valleys and mountains. This long, steep and dramatic pass with its variety of scenery was South Africa's first properly engineered road. Popular attractions along this pass include the Franschhoek Motor Museum located at the beautiful L'Ormarins wine estate, the renowned Vrede en Lust Winery, nestled at the foothills of the Simonsberg Mountains as well as the Huguenot Memorial Museum which is set at the end of the main street through Franschhoek.

SUMMARY
=======
Huguenots ( HEW-gə-nots, also UK: -nohz, French: [yɡ(ə)no]) were a religious group of French Protestants.
Huguenots were French protestants who held to the Reformed tradition of Protestantism. The term has its origin in early-16th-century France. It was frequently used in reference to those of the Reformed Church of France from the time of the Protestant Reformation. By contrast, the Protestant populations of eastern France, in Alsace, Moselle, and Montbéliard were mainly German Lutherans.
In his Encyclopedia of Protestantism, Hans Hillerbrand said that, on the eve of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572, the Huguenot community included as much as 10% of the French population. By 1600 it had declined to 7–8%, and was reduced further after the return of severe persecution in 1685 under Louis XIV's Edict of Fontainebleau.
The Huguenots were believed to be concentrated among the population in the southern and western parts of the Kingdom of France. As Huguenots gained influence and more openly displayed their faith, Catholic hostility grew. A series of religious conflicts followed, known as the French Wars of Religion, fought intermittently from 1562 to 1598. The Huguenots were led by Jeanne d'Albret, her son, the future Henry IV (who would later convert to Catholicism in order to become king), and the princes of Condé. The wars ended with the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial religious, political and military autonomy.
Huguenot rebellions in the 1620s resulted in the abolition of their political and military privileges. They retained the religious provisions of the Edict of Nantes until the rule of Louis XIV, who gradually increased persecution of Protestantism until he issued the Edict of Fontainebleau (1685). This ended legal recognition of Protestantism in France and the Huguenots were forced either to convert to Catholicism (possibly as Nicodemites) or flee as refugees; they were subject to violent dragonnades. Louis XIV claimed that the French Huguenot population was reduced from about 800,000 to 900,000 adherents to just 1,000 to 1,500. He exaggerated the decline, but the dragonnades were devastating for the French Protestant community.
The remaining Huguenots faced continued persecution under Louis XV. By the time of his death in 1774, Calvinism had been nearly eliminated from France. Persecution of Protestants officially ended with the Edict of Versailles, signed by Louis XVI in 1787. Two years later, with the Revolutionary Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, P ...

SUMMARY
=======
Huguenots (; French: Les huguenots [yɡ(ə)no]) are an ethnoreligious group of French Protestants who follow the Reformed tradition.
The term has its origin in early 16th century France. It was frequently used in reference to those of the Reformed Church of France from the time of the Protestant Reformation. Huguenots were French Protestants who held to the Reformed tradition of Protestantism, while the populations of Alsace, Moselle and Montbéliard were mainly German Lutherans. In his Encyclopedia of Protestantism, Hans Hillerbrand claimed that on the eve of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572, the Huguenot community included as much as 10% of the French population, but it declined to 7–8% by around 1600 and even further after the return of heavy persecution in 1685 with Louis XIV's Edict of Fontainebleau.
Huguenot numbers peaked near an estimated two million by 1562, concentrated mainly in the southern and western parts of the Kingdom of France. As Huguenots gained influence and more openly displayed their faith, Catholic hostility grew. A series of religious conflicts followed, known as the French Wars of Religion, fought intermittently from 1562 to 1598. The Huguenots were led by Jeanne d'Albret, her son, the future Henry IV (who would later convert to Catholicism to become king) and the princes of Condé. The wars ended with the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial religious, political and military autonomy.
Huguenot rebellions in the 1620s prompted the abolition of their political and military privileges. They retained the religious provisions of the Edict of Nantes until the rule of Louis XIV, who gradually increased persecution of Protestantism until he issued the Edict of Fontainebleau (1685), ultimately ending any legal recognition of Protestantism in France and forcing the Huguenots to either convert or flee in a wave of violent dragonnades. Louis XIV laid claim that the French Huguenot population was reduced from about 800,000 to 900,000 adherents down to just 1,000 to 1,500; although he overexaggerated the reduction, the dragonnades certainly were devastating for the French Protestant community. Nevertheless, the remaining Huguenots faced continued persecution under Louis XV. At the time of Louis XV's death in 1774, Calvinism had been nearly eliminated from France. Persecution of Protestants officially ended with the Edict of Versailles, signed by Louis XVI in 1787. Two years later, with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, Protestants gained equal rights as citizens.The bulk of Huguenot émigrés relocated to Protestant states such as England and Wales, the Channel Islands, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the Dutch Republic, the Electorate of Brandenburg and Electorate of the Palatinate in the Holy Roman Empire, the Duchy of Prussia, as well as majority Catholic but Protestant-controlled Ireland. They also fled to the Dutch Cape Colony in South Africa, the Dutch East Indies, the Caribbean, New Netherland and several of the English colonies in North America. A few families also went to Orthodox Russia and Catholic Quebec.
By now, most Huguenots have been assimilated into various societies and cultures, but remnant communities of Camisards in the Cévennes, most Reformed members of the United Protestant Church of France, French members of the largely German Protestant Reformed Church of Alsace and Lorraine and the Huguenot diaspora in England and Australia all still retain their beliefs and Huguenot designation.
[남아프리카공화국여행]케이프타운 여행 가이드-익스피디아
케이프타운은 굉장히 다민족으로 구성된 도시 중 하나에요. 대서양과 인도양이 만나고 아름다운 산과 탁 트인 바다가 만나는 남아프리카 공화국의 케이프 반도에 위치하고 있지요. 수백 년간 희망봉은 매우 위험한 곳으로 알려져 왔습니다. 아시아로 향하는 유럽의 배들이 이 위험한 곳을 돌아서 갔지요. 이런 배들의 보급품 공급을 위해 1652년 네덜란드는 작은 기지를 세웁니다. 바로 그 정착지가 지구 상에서 가장 멋진 자연을 배경으로 가장 아름다운 도시 중 하나로 발전하게 된 것입니다.
#남아프리카공화국가볼만한곳
#케이프타운여행
수십 년간 케이프타운은 사회적 대변혁의 시기를 보냈습니다. 그러나 초창기 그 배들처럼 케이프타운은 혼란스러웠던 격동의 역사를 견디고 밝은 미래를 향해 전진했지요. 이 도시는 온갖 어려움 속에서도 남아프리카 공화국은 물론 전 세계에 희망을 비추었습니다.

클리프턴의 주택은 엄청나게 비싸지만, 반짝이는 대서양, 라이온스 헤드, 12사도 등의 환상적인 전망은 언제나처럼 무료랍니다. 바로 옆 캠프스 베이 비치에서도 휴양지 분위기가 계속돼요. 케이프 타운 중심에서 차로 5분이면 고운 백사장 해변이 펼쳐지고 잔잔한 바다를 배경으로 20여 개의 식당과 카페가 있습니다. 해안을 따라 9.6km 가면 더욱 유유자적한 란두드노 비치가 나와요. 바다에서 신나게 파도를 타도 좋고 큰 바위를 가까이서 구경해도 좋죠. 이곳의 삶은 참 소박해요. 신호등도, 레스토랑도, 가게도 하나 없죠. 배가 출출해질 때쯤이면 하우트 만 어촌 마을로 향하세요.
시원한 수제 맥주와 시장의 온갖 요리가 기다립니다. 고깃배 옆에서 현지인들과 함께 어울려 보세요. 반도의 서쪽 해안을 구경했으면 이제 동쪽을 볼 차례죠. 동쪽에는 바닷물이 따뜻한 폴스베이가 있어요. 수많은 해변이 끝없이 펼쳐져 있고 예쁜 항구도 많지요. 시몬스 타운의 군항에서 유서 깊은 세인트 조지 스트리트를 걸어보세요.
폴스 베이에는 한때 소박한 농촌과 고래잡이 마을이 여럿 있었어요. 여기서 해안 산책로를 따라 칼크베이로 가보세요. 이곳은 이제 고래잡이와 석회 제조 대신 예술가들이 사는 곳이 되었어요. 다행히 아직도 어선들이 바다로 나가고 있어 현지 식당들은 언제나 신선한 해산물을 공급받고 있지요. 다음 장소로 이동할 때가 되면 인근의 세인트제임스로 가보세요. 다채로운 색상의 탈의 오두막과 오래된 저택이 늘어서 있어 화려했던 다이아몬드 및 금광 시대의 일면을 보여줍니다. 바로 옆 전혀 다른 분위기의 무이젠버그에서는 남아공 최고의 느긋한 분위기를 경험하실 수 있어요. 물이 따뜻하고 수심이 얕아 가족끼리 오기에 좋은 해변이죠. 서핑에 관심이 있으시면 여기서 배우면 좋아요. 바로 무이젠버그에서 남아공 서핑이 처음 탄생했답니다. 이곳 해변은 여름이면 사람들로 북적이지만, 이 예술적인 마을의 거리 곳곳에는 한적한 쉴 곳이 많아요. 여기서 19km 이상 고운 모래사장이 고든스 베이까지 뻗어 있어요. 코겔 베이에서 코너를 돌면 너무 조용해서 바닷물이 조약돌과 조가비를 어루만지는 소리만 들려요. 케이프타운에는 해변만 많은 게 아니에요. 세계 최고의 와인이 생산되는 곳이기도 하답니다. 케이프타운 최초의 포도원은 1655년 컴퍼니스 가든에 심어졌어요. 괴혈병을 막기 위한 목적이었다고 해요. 그런데 남아공 와인 업계가 뿌리를 내린 곳은 차로 20분만 가면 나오는 콘스탄티아 교외랍니다. 1600년대 후반 이곳에 수백 개의 포도나무가 심어졌는데, 강한 바람을 막기 위해 오크 나무를 따라 심어졌습니다. 여기서 시작된 포도나무는 케이프타운은 물론 와인랜드로 알려진 곳까지 퍼져나갔어요. 유서 깊은 마을을 중심으로 18개의 와인 루트가 조성되어 있어요. 방대한 규모의 포도원이 아름다운 풍경 속에 자리하고 있지요. 이곳에서 특징적인 것은 유서 깊은 네덜란드식 저택과 레스토랑 및 와인 시음실입니다. 이 비옥한 토지의 생산물을 직접 맛보실 수 있죠. 라보리, 프레데 엔 루스트 등 파를의 유명 와이너리를 구경하신 후 300년 역사를 자랑하는 이 마을을 구경해 보세요. 파를에는 아프리칸스어를 기념하는 높다란 타알 기념비가 있어요.
아프리칸스어는 1902년 보어 전쟁 이후 금지되었던 언어였지요. 스텔렌보쉬는 남아공에서 가장 오래된 곳으로, 200개 포도원에 150여 개 시음실을 갖추고 있어요. 워터포드에서는 보르도 스타일의 2시간짜리 와인 사파리를 즐긴 다음 이 지역의 새로운 레드와인을 시음해 보세요. 스텔렌보쉬에서 차로 30분, 케이프타운에서 50분이면 이곳에서 최고로 아름다운 와인 루트가 나와요. 바로 프란쉬후크랍니다. 17세기 유럽의 종교적 박해를 피해 떠난 200명의 프랑스 위그노 교도들은 이곳을 천국으로 만들었어요. 오늘날 프란쉬후크는 남아공에서 음식과 와인의 수도로 여겨집니다.
남아공에서 최초로 생겨난 곳 중 하나인 보셴달은 곳곳에서 프랑스의 스타일과 열정이 느껴지는 곳입니다. 마을 자체는 물론 갤러리와 박물관 및 기념물도 프랑스풍이지요. 이 기념물은 압제의 망토를 벗어 던지고 낙관적인 미래를 향해 응시하는 여성을 표현하고 있죠. 케이프타운으로 돌아가기 전에 프란쉬후크 패스에 가보세요. 환상적인 드라이브를 즐기실 수 있어요. 몽 로쉘 자연보호구역의 높은 곳에서 발 아래의 아름다운 풍경을 만끽하고 프로테아가 만발한 언덕을 산책하세요. 케이프타운에서 처음 발견된 이 꽃은 이제 전 세계에서 재배된답니다. 현지 전통에 따르면 프로테아 꽃은 변화와 용기 및 희망을 뜻합니다. 케이프타운은 이런 프로테아가 자라므로 변화, 용기, 희망을 모두 갖춘 도시인 셈이죠.
그러나 케이프타운은 꽃이라기 보다는 정원이에요. 선박의 물품 보급지였던 초창기부터 쓰라린 인종 차별 정책 시대를 거치면서 이곳은 모든 인종이 힘을 합해 희망의 씨앗을 심고 자유의 열매를 피운 정원과 같은 곳이랍니다. 다채로움과 희망, 그리고 자유가 숨쉬는 케이프타운으로 오세요.
