Guernsey is part of the southernmost archipelago in the British Isles sitting in the Bay of St Malo, a little under 30 miles from the French coast. As a result Guernsey has a milder climate then the UK and enjoys more sunshine hours each year, making for a very popular tourist destination.

This allows for an outdoor-based lifestyle that makes maximum use of the natural surroundings. It also means that a number of plants and flowers, that couldn't survive in Britain, are able to thrive in Guernsey. The Island rarely sees frost and snow is somewhat of a rarity.

Guernsey also has its own stamps and currency and while British currency can be used on the island, Guernsey pounds cannot be used in the UK.

Due to over-crowding in tourist resorts such as the Mediterranean coast and the ski resorts the school holiday dates in France are staggered by dividing the country into three zones.

Our sponsored links on each page also list events and discounts on school holiday ideas and half term events in France, the UK and Ireland.
