A delegation of French dignitaries arrived in Guernsey on Thursday to launch a new ferry link between the Bailiwick and France. Manche Isles Express will run two services starting this summer.
The first ferry will run between Guernsey, Alderney and Dielette. The second will provide routes from Sark, Jersey and Carteret.
The Bailiff, Deputy Minister and other States members greeted the 50-strong French delegation.
