About Le Cap

Le Cap s'étire entre la montagne de la Table et la mer : plages, vignobles, manchots et histoire, près de la pointe sud-ouest de l'Afrique.

Le sommet plat de la montagne de la Table domine tout, accessible par téléphérique ou par des sentiers de randonnée, flanqué de Lion's Head et de Signal Hill. En contrebas, le V&A Waterfront s'agite autour du port en activité, et des bateaux en partent pour Robben Island, où Nelson Mandela fut détenu pendant dix-huit ans. Les maisons colorées de Bo-Kaap grimpent sur les pentes au-dessus du centre-ville et du Company's Garden.

Top-ranked sights in Le Cap: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
