This is a place I have seen photos of and heard about and it was surreal to finally be here and see it in person. You know, me and 25,000 other people that day lol.
Mont St Michel is a stunning piece of architecture built over several centuries from the 11th to the 16th century. Our guide told us the tide comes in once a month and is about 40 feet high. Not as high as the Bay of Fundy in Canada but still pretty high.

Getting closer 
View of the flats, when the tide comes in, it’s all water 
The Town was built inside the walls 
Inside the church 
I was sitting by a wall and Clint was way up at the top of the tower beside the flag so I took his photo
The same day we stopped at Omaha Beach. We had stopped there on our previous tour but that’s okay, we did not mind stopping again and it wasn’t raining this time.

It looks so peaceful now 
A very pretty church close to Omaha beach 
I do love old small churches
We had a great trip and now we are headed back to Paris where we will stay, on our own, for a couple more days and then fly back to Toronto.
Off to Paris !

Very beautiful places, I’d love to visit the castle that surrounds with water at high tide!
