Guernsey, part of the Channel Islands, is situated between France and England, yet it is not technically part of either country and has a history that predates both. St. Peter Port, once home to novelist Victor Hugo and notably not conquered by Napoleon, now features a picturesque harbor, historic houses, flower-lined streets, and even a castle. The island offers a variety of flavors, reflecting its history as a crossroads of cultures, with pubs, fish and chip shops, local Roquette apple cider, and the famous sweet gâche bread, a Christmas favorite.
