Along with the Dutch, indigenous people, and freed slaves, the French transformed the location into one of the country’s most sought-after tourist spots. The place features Cape Dutch architecture, old vineyards, and forested areas. Some of the popular activities here include hiking, wine tasting, exploring museums, and more. While you are here, you can visit popular attractions such as Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve, Huguenot Memorial Monument, and Chamonix Wine Farm.
