Bonne Nuit ( Jèrriais: ''Bouonne Niet'') is a small natural harbour in the Vingtaine du Nord, Saint John, Jersey, Channel Islands. Both ''Bonne Nuit'' in French and ''Bouonne Niet'' in Jèrriais mean "good night", referring to the shelter sailors could rely on by overnighting in the harbour. The bay nestles between the headlands of Frémont in the West and La Crête in the East. History In 1150 Saint Mary's chapel in St John was given to the Abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte and was described as being the chapel ''de Bona Nocte''. This is the first documentary reference to the name.
