The French Quarter

An ode to the French art of living

Le Quartier Français is a delightful hotel located in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley in the Winelands region. Tucked away in flowering gardens, it is a haven of tranquillity where an extraordinary gastronomic experience awaits you. The secret of this inn also lies in the warmth of its welcome and its attention to detail. It exudes a warm, unpretentious atmosphere somewhere between a country inn and a refined guesthouse. It is a true culinary institution with a choice of two restaurants offering a highly acclaimed tasting journey. Fine dining at La Petite Colombe and neo-bistro cuisine at Protégé will make you appreciate the region and its wines. The quality of the rooms and suites matches the delight of the taste buds, featuring a clever blend of vibrant colours and chic classic design.
