Pierres de Lecq

Les Pierres de Lecq or the Paternosters are a group of uninhabitable rocks or a reef in the Bailiwick of Jersey between Jersey and Sark, 6 km north of Grève de Lecq in Saint Mary, and 22.4 km west of the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy. Only three or four of the rocks remain visible at high tide: L'Êtaîthe, La Grôsse and La Vouêtaîthe. The area has one of the greatest tidal ranges in the world, sometimes being as much as 12 m.The name Paternosters is connected with a legend relating to the colonisation of Sark in the 16th century.
