Jersey is a great place to visit and is just off the coast of Normandy, France. As well as the island of Jersey itself, the bailiwick includes two groups of small islands which are no longer permanently inhabited, the Minquiers and Écréhous, and the Pierres de Lecq and other rocks and reefs. If you are planning to travel to jersey from somewhere like the UK using the various ferry options is a good way to go.
