Imagine the smell of freshly baked bread on a Wednesday morning. Now add a freshly brewed cup of coffee and squirrels running around a beautiful garden setting. That is the magic of La Motte's Artisanal Bakery and Garden Café. If you've been driving to Franschhoek without stopping at La Motte to grab one of their famous breads or tempting patisseries, you have been missing out! But you will want to linger in the inviting setting of their new bakery space, now housed in the historic Jonkershuis. The bakery, under the guidance of master baker Markus Färbinger, of Knysna’s well-known île de pain café, celebrates bread in all its original glory. The La Motte Artisanal Bakery and Garden Café is open from Wednesday to Sunday. Hours are from 08h00 to 16h00.
