Les Houmets are to the east of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Their name derives from a diminutive of hou, a Norman/Guernésiais word meaning islets. They are tidal islands. Among the islets are Houmet Benest/Houmet Benêt, Houmet Paradis and Houmet Hommetol (Omptolle). Although Victor Hugo suggests that they were heavily eroded by quarrying (which was certainly true in the case of Crevichon off Herm), Victor Coysh disagrees saying:

  • Les Houmets are to the east of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Their name derives from a diminutive of hou, a Norman/Guernésiais word meaning islets. They are tidal islands. Among the islets are Houmet Benest/Houmet Benêt, Houmet Paradis and Houmet Hommetol (Omptolle). Although Victor Hugo suggests that they were heavily eroded by quarrying (which was certainly true in the case of Crevichon off Herm), Victor Coysh disagrees saying: "While much work of this nature was in progress in the parishes of the Vale and St. Sampson in the last century [i.e. 19th], quarrying was not responsible for any marked alteration in the coast off which Les Houmets lie. In fact, they have been islets for a very long time, as ancient maps reveal. Did the author ever visit them, I wonder." (en)

  • Houmets também conhecidos como Les Houmets são ilhéus desabitados a leste de Guernsey nas Ilhas do Canal. Seu nome deriva do diminutivo do sufixo -hou, uma designação normanda, também usada na língua chamada guernésiais, que significa "ilhéu". Em função de sua natureza interligada às marés, somente é seguro visitar as ilhas durante a maré baixa. Entre as ilhotas estão Houmet Benest/Houmet Benêt, Houmet Paradis e Houmet Hommetol (Omptolle). Ainda que Victor Hugo sugira que o conjunto de ilhotas estivesse muito erodido pela atividade de extração em pedreiras (certamente verdadeiro em Crevichon, próximo a Herm), Victor Coysh discorda: "Enquanto muito trabalho dessa natureza esteve em progresso nas paróquias de Vale e em Saint Sampson no último século [i.e. XIX], as pedreiras não foram responsáveis por qualquer alteração pesada na costa onde estão Les Houmets. Na verdade, elas estão na condição de ilhotas por um tempo muitíssimo longo. Fico imaginando se realmente o autor as visitou." (pt)
