What “Dors, Dors, Mon P'tit” Means
Jersey has its own Norman French dialect, Jèrriais, still taught and spoken by a small community today, and Mont Orgueil Castle has stood watch over the island’s coast for 800 years. This original lullaby, in Jèrriais, borrows both, the ancient castle and the rhythm of the tides.
