Mont-Saint-Michel


Always an impressive place to visit, day or night, sunny or rainy, winter or summer. However you will want to check the tides. We almost had   Mont Saint Michel to ourselves,  quite a privilege these days. Lucky us :) 

There are several fortified entries, no surprise this place was never compromised.

The first wall contains the lower town, the second the upper town, a few shops and living quarters. Then above the next wall is the Abby.

The top layer of the Mont where the Abbey starts.
The 200 year old treadwheel that brought the sled 300 feet up. Driven by prisoners.

quite a perch for a church.

amazing doors


Cruising the town, contained in the lower walls.
