Situated off the coast of France, Jersey is one half of the Channel Islands and a popular destination for those looking to experience both British and French cultures on holiday.
Indeed, in many parts of the island it is common to find signposts written in a combination of English and ‘Jèrriais’ – a form of language from the Norman period which is still used to this day, albeit rarely.
The island of Jersey is famous for a number of culturally familiar symbols, particularly in the culinary world – including Jersey Royal new potatoes and the small tan-coloured cows which produce the rich gold-top milk that has become synonymous with the island.
Every year, thousands of tourists head to the island, attracted by the <a href="http://www.travelsupermarket.com/travelmerge/travelsearch.aspx?package=5">cheap hotels</a> and the miles of sandy beaches along the islands coastline. Many flock to the island to take in the coastal waters, and there are a number of <a href="http://www.travelsupermarket.com/travelmerge/travelsearch.aspx?package=5">hotels</a> and water sports centres around the edge of the island.
The island has a number of churches and statues of former monarchs dotted throughout, with a mixture of British and French art forms apparent throughout. The island’s landscape has also been an influence for many famous painters and writers, as well as being home to a number of famous faces from television and sport.
One of the most popular attractions on the island is the annual Battle of Flowers carnival. Held in the second week of August, the festival is a lively mix of street entertainment, funfairs and music events.
The festival culminates in the main float competition, in which parishes from around the island compete against one another in order for the title of Best Float, with an award for Miss Battle Of Flowers being awarded at the end of the festival.
