General presentation
Jersey
Great Anglo-Norman island between beaches, cliffs, medieval castle, memory of the Occupancy and Franco-British atmosphere.
To understand what Jersey is, you have to look at Mont Orgueil, La Corbière and Saint Helier. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: left-hand traffic. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Castle
Mont Orgueil
Mont Orgueil Gorey dominates with a very strong medieval silhouette, facing the Normandy coast. Inside, rooms, stairs and ramparts tell the defensive role of Jersey, while the views of the port constantly place the castle in its maritime landscape.
Phare
La Corbière
In La Corbière, the white lighthouse placed on its rocky island seems to advance into the sea, connected to Jersey The tide schedules completely change the visit: at low sea, the rocks are revealed; when the water rises, currents, foam and light suddenly isolate the lighthouse.
Memory
Jersey War Tunnels
The Jersey War Tunnels immerse in the memory of the German occupation through an ancient underground complex. The visit is dense and sometimes dark, but it gives an essential depth to the history of the island, far from the only beaches and coastal walks.
City
Saint Helier
Saint Helier concentrates the port, markets, museums and practical life of Jersey The city does not have the wild beauty of the cliffs, but it gives access to the daily life of the island and serves as an effective base for radiating.
