Old city on the water ❤️ PUT in your list!!! NO REGRET!!🚙💨💨💨 Mont-Saint-Michel is a tidal island and mainland commune in Normandy, France. The island lies approximately one kilometre off the country's north-western coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches and is 7 hectares in area. Saint-Aubert, the Bishop of Avranches, founded Mont Saint Michel in 708 after having seen the archangel Saint-Michel appear in his dreams three times. The island was originally called Mont-Tombe but became known as Mont-Saint-Michel in the 8th century, when St. Aubert, bishop of Avranches, built an oratory there after having a vision of the archangel St. Michael. It rapidly became a pilgrimage centre, and in 966 a Benedictine abbey was built there. #CelebrateWithTrip #mytripvlog #passionpassport #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #awesomepic #mountainview #bucketlistreboot #fallingforfall

This castle called Le Mont Saint Michel in the French Normandy is the most romantic and epic place in France. If you are going to get engaged - this is the place for you!

Many visitors to Mont Saint-Michel will choose to stay in nearby cities, such as Saint-Malo, but we choose to stay in the Mont Saint-Michel Scenic Area. Most of the attractions are MOTEL, and the price is not cheap. There are several hotels in the scenic area, but all the vehicles entering the scenic area must be the guests of the hotel, so the hotel will provide the guest with the password for the access control. However, our hotel did not inform in advance, so our car was stuck at the access control, and the area was pressed a lot. Press the call bell, the call staff will not speak English. Later, a girl came to help translate, the scenic staff also rushed on a small bicycle, and finally Xiaoyue hit the hotel phone to verify the information before they got the password to enter the scenic spot. Check in when asked the front desk for not telling the password in advance, the front desk said innocently, because I don't know your email address.

Everyone has a different imagination for the castle. It is a beautiful tall building. It is a luxurious and luxurious lifestyle. Is it a wonderful fairy tale that a beautiful princess, a handsome prince and a chic knight perform together? No matter what, the castle, for us, is always a charming place full of infinite charm with mystery. When we were young, we liked to use sand to shape their vagaries. When we grew up, we saw more and more, and the castle gradually faded away from mystery. If there is still an impulse to the castle, I am afraid that it will only be explored in the sky. In the early morning, the sun was still torn with the horizon, and the mist after the ebb tide covered the earth. In the vagueness, the city of the sky in that dream was really in sight.

This sacred Mont Saint-Michel, revered by travel enthusiasts as a holy place in the midst of the sea, is a famous attraction in Normandy, France, and is said to be one of the 'must-visit' towns in a lifetime. When I arrived at the town, it was cloudy. I took the free 'Shuttle Bus' to the terminal at the foot of the mountain. The fierce wind carried heavy rain, and after walking about 30 meters, I became a 'drenched chicken'. Despite it being April, the temperature plummeted, and the rain was ice-cold to the bone. I immediately crossed the road to take a ride back to the hotel. In the evening, the rain stopped, and it seemed that the clouds in the sky were a bit sparse. I went to the island mountain again. Mont Saint-Michel is located on a small island in the middle of the sea, and from a distance, it looks like an equilateral triangle with a towering abbey spire in the middle. The abbey, which was founded in 708, is said to have a gold statue of the Archangel Michael, as imagined by Bishop Aubert of Avranches, who is stepping on a conquered dragon. The tidal range of Mont Saint-Michel is very large; during high tide, the causeway is submerged, making it appear as if it is standing alone in the middle of the sea. This is a common image in the works of painters and photographers, and it is also what we see. Due to the blockage of the causeway, the tide slowly accumulates silt, which will turn Mont Saint-Michel into a peninsula, losing its original unique charm. In 2014, a bridge was built to solve the problem of siltation. A monastery was built on the island, and from the entrance to the island, you can see that the entire island's buildings are constructed of thick blocks of stone. The outer defensive facilities include bunkers and high walls, and there is even a drawbridge at the entrance, which was easy to defend but hard to attack in the era of cold weapons. The entrance begins with a commercial street, and it is probably difficult to explain why a commercial street was formed. But the entire narrow street and defensive facilities make you feel as if you have traveled back to the Middle Ages. In 966, Duke Charles I of Normandy gave Mont Saint-Michel to the Benedictine order of the Catholic Church, and later it became a center of learning, eventually becoming a church fortress in the 11th century. During the Hundred Years' War between England and France in the 15th century, the English army could not conquer it, and it became the only place in the northwest of France that did not fall into the hands of the English. Later, it continued to serve as a prison, and in 1966, on the 1000th anniversary of the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey, it was symbolically returned to the Benedictine order. In 1979, Mont Saint-Michel and its bay were listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. I arrived too late, and the abbey had already stopped selling tickets for entry. The weather was also gloomy with occasional light rain. After walking around the accessible areas twice, I decided to eat first. Perhaps touched by my spirit at such an old age, after dinner, in the evening (it gets dark very late), the clouds suddenly dispersed, and the sun appeared, giving me the opportunity to witness the elegance of Mont Saint-Michel. Travel is always like this; you need to have confidence and perseverance, and the scenery will always be with you. Mont Saint-Michel itself is an attraction, and to be precise, the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey is one of the highlights. The ticket is 13 euros, with an additional 5 euros for the audio guide, which includes the abbey church, Merveille. Tips: You can stay on the mountain, but it is quite expensive. There is a parking lot 🅿️ near the visitor center, and accommodations nearby are also quite expensive. In fact, there are many guesthouses within a few kilometers or more than ten kilometers, and it is also possible to drive to the attractions, which is a way to save money. Whether you drive and stay on the mountain or nearby, you will park near the visitor center, where there is a free shuttle bus service.

When visiting France, I could not miss visiting the famous Mont Saint-Michel. Its abbey is perched more than 50 meters above sea level. It boasts well-preserved medieval architecture and a unique natural environment. Mont Saint-Michel was built on a small island surrounded by sand or water, far from modern constructions, and in the middle of ramparts and old houses. It is well worth a visit! My rating of this attraction: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!
