Can't decide between visiting England or France...

or taking a vacation by the sea?

No worries, you can have it all!

Visit Guernsey in the Channel Islands between Britain and France for a Anglo/Franco fusion vacation.

The lovely island of Guernsey, a unique blend of French and British culture is located in the English Channel, just 30 miles off the northwestern coast of France. The island is easily accessible by short flight or fast ferry from either France or Britain.

Guernsey is a self-governing British Crown dependency, that has been influenced by nearby France through the centuries. Why am I telling you this? Personally I feel it is this fusion of French and British cultures that makes Guernsey so unique and attractive. The language spoken is English, but there is still a Guernsey patois French spoken by some of the population. You’ll also find the majority of the roads are named in French. Every aspect of island life is a charming blend of customs and tradtions in France and England.
