Franschhoek
Bastille Festival July 2009
Franschhoek, being the French Corner of South Africa, celebrates Bastille Day with reckless abandon. In fact, they like to commemorate their forefathers by celebrating for an entire weekend. It’s also the only day in the year that you can get away with wearing a beret.
Highlights of the Bastille Festival 2009 included a Food & Wine Marquee, a French Film Festival, the Chef’s & Waiters Race, Pêtanque, the Barrel Rolling competition and lots more! If you weren’t there, you missed out!
Check out some awesome photo’s by Andrew Brauteseth of the 2009 Bastille Festival in Franschhoek.
