Description | |||||
the Place | |||||
Tourism | Guernsey is more charming than Jersey. The South coast is mugnificent, with a pub in each bay.
For walks, do not hesitate to take the bus. The line 7 or 7A makes the tour of Guernsey in one or the other sens; it is not expensive and it is possible to stop anywhere. Many roads have no kerb and are lined by walls, that makes walking very uncomfortable. ![]() The house of Victor Hugo, a curiosity; The path that leads to Fairmain bay and the pointe St Martin is shadowed and refreshing when it is sunny. |
