Did you know
The Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey have their own separate bailiwicks (a term generally used to indicate an area of authority), neither of which is a part of the United Kingdom.
They form an archipelago of British Crown Dependencies (British possessions of the crown as opposed to overseas territories of the UK). All the Channel Islands with the exception of Jersey, belong to the bailiwick of Guernsey.
St Malo, France
Interestingly
St Malo, a walled port city in Brittany in northwestern France on the English Channel, was a fortified island at the mouth of the Rance River during the Middle Ages. The town also once asserted its autonomy from 1490-1493 when it declared itself to be an independent republic saying it was “not French, not Breton, but Malouins”.
