Paarl stretches along the Berg River below Paarl Mountain, and its doors tell its history: Cape Dutch and Victorian houses along Main Street with thick wooden doors and old lever locks, family homes in Paarl North and Denneburg, and wine farms, packsheds and cellars spread across the valley toward Simondium and Klapmuts.
