Overview of Le Quartier Français

Set in the heart of Franschhoek in the Cape Winelands, Le Quartier Français is a charming boutique hotel centrally located on the village’s main street and close to its many boutiques and galleries. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens with charming and tasteful rooms. You can relax in the gardens or at the pool before pampering yourself with aroma-skincare treatments at the B.gorgeous hair, beauty and shopping emporium. There is a private cinema with soft leather chairs and back-row couches for rainy days or relaxing evening.

Franschhoek, the gourmet capital of South Africa, is well known for its excellent restaurants and wine estates, but you need not venture further than Épice for delectable, curated fine-dining dishes in an intimate setting. Or pop over to Protégé to sample the more casual, flavour-packed small plates menu packed with fresh, seasonal ingredients that showcase the best of what this region has to offer.

              Loved it.

              Staying in Franschoek was probably my favourite part of the trip. I just couldn’t fault this place – it was stunning. It was an oasis of calm when sat by the pool but then equally just a short walk to the restaurants etc.
              I had my best ever check-in experience at this place; they came out, greeted us, walked us to our room, showed us round and left us. It took me a minute to realise I hadn’t signed any papers, no passports or credits cards had been asked for – it was just so….’slick’. Probably the best breakfast of our trip was here – and that’s saying something! You got the felling that nothing was too much trouble for the staff at this place.
              Amazing huge room overlooking the pool as well – I don’t know why anyone would bother to pay extra and stay in the exclusive ‘Four Quarters’ section because the main section was just as private and arguably more attractive.

              Franschhoek is a delightful place and staying right in the centre was a bonus for us without a car. Le Quartier was also excellent.

              Le Quartier Francais was spectacular. The dinner at the owner’s diner was a one of a kind of experience since we were able to interact directly with the chefs and wander around the kitchen as they were cooking.

              We loved the town of Franschhoek and Le Quartier Francais. We really enjoyed the fireplace in our room and the hot water bottles at our feet in bed. The only day it rained on our entire trip was the day we did our wine tasting tours. We went through the town of Stellenbosch on the tour and from what we saw we were glad we stayed in Franschhoek. Had lunch at the Bread and Wine. The Tasting Room was an experience!!!

              The only thing I would have done differently is add on a few more days in Franschhoek because we absolutely loved it. We actually looked at house prices we loved it so much!Le Quartier was amazing and I would recommend anyone to go there. There was a small honeymoon gift in our room on our arrival which we thought was a lovely touch.

              On to the Winelands. Le Quartier Francaise was delightful – I took lots of pictures of the beautifully decorated room. We opted not to dine at The Tasting Room but enjoyed Ici very much. We also ate at Haute Cabriere where we enjoyed a very tasty dinner. Ray is a very fussy eater and it proved to be a bit of a challenge this entire trip for reasons even I myself can’t comprehend. Visiting the wineries was very pleasant and the tour at Boschendal was great – such a beautiful place with great history. We stopped in Stellenbosch for lunch on our way to Franschhoek but I preferred the intimacy of the latter town.
