If you’ve ever dreamed of Paris in July—jazz in the air, cocktails in hand, and a croissant never too far away—then circle this one on your calendar!
The Bastille Festival Weekend at Mon Amour in Franschhoek is where your French fantasy becomes très real.
From Friday 11th to Sunday 13th July, Mon Amour and their chic collaborators at Smitten (with a splash of Hendrick’s Gin, mais oui!) are rolling out a full-blown Parisian affair in the heart of the Winelands. Think North African–French fusion eats, live jazz, accordion serenades, and handcrafted gin cocktails that’ll make you say ooh la la before the first sip.
Here’s what to expect:
-
Live Music That Slaps (in a très elegant way)
From smooth jazz to double bass and classic French accordion, the lineup features award-winning musicians like Lionel Beukes, Melorie Jane, Kirya Kuti, and Leon Albert Oosthuizen. You’ll want to bring your best foot-tapping shoes. -
Fabulous Chic Attire Encouraged
Dress to impress in your finest “French with a twist” and you could win the coveted Hendrick’s Hamper. Bonus points if you rock a beret or channel your inner Brigitte Bardot. -
Food, Glorious Food
Prepare your tastebuds for a sensory journey. Mon Amour is known for marrying bold North African flavors with French sophistication—expect mezze, pâté, pastries, and everything in between. -
The Setting? Absolutely Dreamy.
Set in the Yard Centre at 38 Huguenot Street, Mon Amour’s leafy courtyard will transform into a bustling Parisian corner—minus the jetlag.
Whether you’re a jazz junkie, a foodie, or just here for the bubbles and baguettes, this festival hits all the right notes. Don’t sleep on it—book your spot now and let the French affair begin.
