LE QUARTIER FRANCAIS

 

Le Quartier Français is a glorious 21-room boutique hotel in Franschhoek village. The extraordinary staff, impeccable service, opulently comfortable rooms and attention to detail ensure that this auberge has made it the top choice for guests for over two decades.

Tucked away in secluded gardens with beautiful views, it is a romantic haven of tranquillity. Perfectly located – in the heart of the village – Le Quartier Français gives guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture and ambience.

 

Franschhoek has a proud tradition as the wine and gourmet capital of the region and is one of the Cape's top destinations. The town was founded 300 years ago when French Huguenots fleeing religious prosecution in France were granted land in the area. They brought their traditions – and their expertise in the production of wine – and the town still boasts a strong French character today, as well as many of the country's top restaurants. The Franschhoek area has 42 wine farms.

AIRLINES & FLIGHTS
We recommend flying via Europe on an Airline which flies direct to both Cape Town and Johannesburg
 

KLM & Air France & Lufthansa all fly direct to Panama and direct to Cape Town / Johannesburg - From their respective hubs in Paris / Amsterdam

 

Outbound: Panama - Cape Town

Inbound:  Johanesburg - Panama City

 

We prefer Air France, and fares do include a stopover in Paris - Should a city break in Europe be required.

​

Other Options
Iberia - IB flies direct from to Panama and Johannesburg from their hub in MADRID.   However a connection would be necessary to Cape Town
​
Turkish Airlines also fly to Panama and Johannesburg/Cape Town, However, flight times are longer.   However they do offer free stopovers in Istanbul.
​
Via Sth America
We stopped flying this route.  Although shorter and the quickest way to get to SA from Panama, the schedules keep changing and COPA and SAA do not offer a through ticket and thus its expensive.   The connection city is Sao Paulo.   However, always check schedules and make sure baggage is tagged for Johannesburg in Panama City upon departure.
 
Via USA
Direct flights do operate to Johannesburg via New York / Washington & Atlanta.   However, due to the long flight and connection times, we do not recommend this route from Panama. (unless a US stopover/ break is required.
