St Pierre, Jersey cruise port guide

By heading almost due east from Cap-aux-Meules in Canada, it is possible to reach France in about one day’s worth of steaming! With barely 6,000 inhabitants living on tiny St. Pierre, it is the smallest French Overseas Collective. The residents of St. Pierre are predominantly descendants of Normans, Basque and Bretons and the French spoken is closer to Metropolitan French than to Canadian French. Although Basque is not spoken any longer, the influence is still felt through sport and a Basque Festival.

About St Pierre, Jersey

Often confused with Jersey's St Helier, St Peter Port is Guernsey's compact harbour capital in the Channel Islands. The cobblestone market streets, Castle Cornet, Victor Hugo's home Hauteville House, and French-influenced cuisine define the character of this Norman heritage port.
