EspañolLA COUPéE
La Coupée is the narrow isthmus which links the two main parts of Sark
'La Coupée' is isthmus joined Great Sark and Little Sark.
La Coupée is just nine feet wide with a drop of 300 feet either side. Protective railings were erected in 1900; before then, children would crawl across on their hands and knees to avoid being blown over the edge. There is currently a narrow concrete road covering the entirety of the isthmus, built in 1945 by German prisoners of war under the direction of the Royal Engineers. Because of this isolation, the inhabitants of Little Sark had their own distinct form of Sercquais, the native Norman dialect of the island.
