Bastille Festival at La Motte

Bastille Day or the French La Fête Nationale is celebrated on the 14th of July and serves as a celebration of a reunited France.

In Franschhoek with its rich French Huguenot history, French traditions have always been treasured and that is why each year we celebrate Bastille Day with a special festival. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Franschhoek Bastille Festival, which over the years has become a social calendar highlight and the weekend from 12 to 14 July promises to be an exceptional celebration of the valley’s French heritage and love for food and wine.

La Motte will participate in the weekend’s French Festivities with a stand in the Festival tent in the town square while on the estate the following will be on offer:
