Jersey is a British Crown Dependency, but the influence of
France is evident in many aspects of island life, including the
predominantly French street and place names, Norman-style
indigenous architecture, the local patois ("Jerriais") which can
still be heard spoken by some older Jersey people, and the
characteristic love of
food and eating that can be seen in everyday
life.
A self-catering holiday in Jersey is a real opportunity to
slow down and unwind. The landscapes are a beguiling blend of lush
countryside, tranquil valleys, small-scale farmland, winding
lanes and wild dunes and headlands. And of course the
surrounding beaches and bays, with some of the cleanest waters in
Europe, offer opportunities for exploration, relaxation, and
adventure.
Les Ormes Leisure Village and La Pulente Coastal Cottages are in
the west of the island close to the best beaches, walks and
restaurants.
Jersey's human history is a fascinating story stretching back 1000
years. The legacy is an opportunity to
explore neolithic tombs and monuments,
medieval castles, Napoleonic fortifications, World War II German
bunkers and tunnels and much more.
All in all, an ideal destination for a self catering holiday,
whether for family, couple or group.
