Jersey

They say the Channel Islands are a little piece of France in Britain.

The mellow Gulf Stream gives them a balmy climate, nature blessed them with golden, unspoilt beaches, and the French influence gives them a unique atmosphere and way of life.

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands at nine miles by five, yet somehow it boasts fifty miles of spectacular coastline with stunning sandy beaches. The island is rich in heritage with castles and museums that depict a fascinating history of occupation.
