The Channel Islands

The Channel Islands are an England in miniature and a free port close to France. They offer the unique charms of an island land blessed by nature, steeped in British culture and the sensation of walking in familiar territory, with the French street names and a campaign that resembles the Normandy countryside.
Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm, the five main islands of the archipelago of La Mancha, which comprises more than 1,000 islands and reefs, each with their temperament. Jersey and Guernsey, the two largest, have many visitors, especially on weekends.
Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, offers a host of hiking along cliffs, through its blooming countryside and to the fortifications and other dolmens reflecting its history.
Guernsey, a little smaller, retains traces of the passage of Victor Hugo. The writer lived in exile from 1855 to 1870 and fell in love with this rustic land, as spring turns into flowerbed.
Alderney longer subject to the rigors ocean, has the advantage, although it is easily accessible with its airport to be a little less touristy.
Finally, Sark and Herm, time seems to stand still. Sark, which houses the only feudal system still applied in Western Europe, is governed by a lord. They both hue and cry on motor vehicles; the only exception is tolerated this little tractor that will transport your luggage on arrival at Sark.
Steps away from the French coast, the Channel Islands are the perfect setting to forget the madness of the modern world.
