The Channel Islands

The Channel Islands :

Destination overview

Welcome to an archipelago where culture does not follow geography. Very close to France, these parts of the Cotentin Peninsula speak English and eat insular cuisine: fish and seafood caught offshore, thin skin potatoes, Jersey Royals that were invented there, butter, yellow-coloured milk and cream, strawberries and tomatoes that are grown in green houses: Go there in autumn for the Tennerfest as restaurants will give you good deals!

pros

The possibility to immerse yourself in the British culture, just one hour from the French coasts.
The option of switching from cultural visits to bathing on two big islands and three smaller ones in less than a week.

cons

Between October and March, the archipelago lives at a slower pace and is more difficult to reach.
Lovers of cultural attractions will be disappointed by the lack of major cultural sites.

Useful Information
Since 2005, it has prohibited to smoke in all restaurants on the Channel Islands. Pubs that serve food, also prohibit smoking. Also, note that more and more hotels do not permit smoking in any of their rooms. In general, a smoking area is set up in one of the bars of a hotel. Smoking in public places is still allowed: so, the few areas outside of the bars and restaurants still permit smoking.

Summer is a very touristy season and accommodation and restaurant prices drastically increase. So it is better to come during spring or during the low season when the climate is still very pleasant.
Additionally, restaurants in Jersey have special offers from early October to mid-November. 40 different restaurants offer entire meals starting from 10 £, for lunch or dinner, depending on where you go. To know which restaurants participate to the event, visit www.jersey.com/food.
If you decide to stay in Sark during the high season, think about booking well in advance as accommodation is limited.
