With their end-of-the-world feel and unique island charm, the Channel Islands offer a complete change of scenery just a few hours from Camping le Brévedent. Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Alderney and Herm will captivate you with their wild landscapes, steep cliffs and timeless atmosphere. A perfect blend of British culture and Norman art de vivre.
Jersey: nature and British heritage
The largest of the islands, Jersey is fascinating for its diversity. You’ll discover superb beaches, spectacular coastal paths, Mont Orgueil Castle and war tunnels dug by the Germans during the Occupation. Stroll around the capital, Saint-Hélier, and sample the local specialities in a typical pub.
Guernsey: cliffs, legends and gardens
In Guernsey, let yourself be charmed by the island’s natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. Walk in the footsteps of Victor Hugo, visit his Hauteville House, explore the port of Saint-Peter and admire the southern cliffs. Here, the landscapes light up with colour, from flower-filled moors to secret coves and low granite walls.
Sark: the car-free island
On Sark, peace and quiet are absolute. There are no motorised vehicles on the island, just tractors and bicycles. You’ll find paths lined with low walls, breathtaking views from La Coupée, and an astonishing medieval atmosphere. A magical break from time and noise.
Alderney: cliffs and seabirds
Alderney will appeal to nature lovers with its rugged cliffs, steep paths and long deserted beaches. It’s also a great place for birdwatching, with a spectacular colony of gannets. It’s a corner of Normandy with an English touch, still unspoilt by mass tourism.
Herm: softness, white sand and absolute calm
Herm, tiny and entirely pedestrianised, is a haven of peace. The island offers heavenly beaches with turquoise waters, flower-filled paths and absolute tranquillity. With no cars and no stress, Herm invites you to totally unwind, between swimming, sunbathing and bucolic walks.
An easy getaway from the campsite
From Le Brévedent, you can reach the ports of Granville, Barneville-Carteret or Saint-Malo, from where there are regular ferries to the islands. Whether you’re planning a day trip or a few days’ getaway, the Channel Islands promise an unforgettable experience of the sea and island traditions.
