On the last day, I went to Mont-Saint-Michel. It and its bay have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. On the edge of Normandy, it rises majestically above the coast and is a monastery mountain, island and municipality all in one. Its bay is the scene of the strongest tides in Europe. This rocky island is home to a former Benedictine abbey. It was one of the most extensive, difficult and costly construction projects of the entire Middle Ages. Today there are still around 25 inhabitants here. The abbey itself is inhabited by the nuns of the Monastic Communities of Jerusalem. A fascinating building that is definitely worth a visit! Not least as a perfect photo location! Attention: Preferably in spring in the early season - or in the late season in fall. The huge parking lots testify to the fact that Mont-Saint-Michel is the most visited attraction in France after the Eiffel Tower in Paris. And you should be a good walker! Kisses 😘
