France, le Mont Saint Michel
|
|
| | |
|  | Perched high on a rock, much like a ship adrift, the abbey of Mont Saint Michel rises above the sea. Take your time getting there by walking across the bay, trudging through the quicksand, following in the footsteps of pilgrims.
Salt-water bay
There are myriad ways to appreciate the bay between the, earth, sea and sky. Walk along the Hermelles Bank scooping up shellfish. Or wander around bird-watching. But perhaps you'd prefer walking the entire length of the bay, all 25 km of it!
Solo touring
Away from the crowds, the narrow streets reveal their magic. Dine on the island before the tide comes in and surrounds it. |

| | Dreamy tour
For a magical experience, discover this architectural masterpiece by night. The tour "D?un autre songe" dramatically reveals the Mont in shadow and light, in silence and in music.
Historic omelets
La Mère Poulard needs no introduction. The local gastronomic star left a legacy of more than 700 authentically Norman recipes. Sample her inimitable omelet at the restaurant named after her.
(Out) running water
Legend has it that the tide rushes in as swiftly as a galloping horse. On days of high tide, the sea pulls back 18 km from the coast before thundering back in. Awesome! |
