In the town of Franschoek, a monument in memory of the Huguenots, Protestants of French origin who immigrated to South Africa in the 17th century, was inaugurated in 1948. The work of sculptor Coert Steynberg depicts a female figure, carrying the Bible in her right hand and a broken chain in her left hand, which then represents freedom. A boat sails towards the tip of Africa and we see, gathered around the Book, the wheel of industry, the lyre of the arts, the grain and grapes of agriculture. As for the three arches, they symbolize the Trinity.

Nous avons fait une halte pendant le circuit dans cette ville. Vraiment peu de choses à y voir, si ce n'est ce monument.

Pas vraiment d'attrait.

Je trouve ce monument sans aucun intérêt. Il est moche. Il faisait une chaleur insupportable en plus pour ne rien arranger. A éviter.

C'est très beau, surtout au soleil couchant, et on peut y pique-niquer. Après, c'est payant... pour un monument "de base". Ou alors, faites comme nous: juste avant la fermeture, le gardien était absent, et nous avons pu rentrer gratis !
