Holiday in France: Mont St-Michel



Mont St-Michel

I recently got back from a long holiday. It was a great experience visiting many places in France and England. In France, the main stop was Paris, with a few day trips out and around. Perhaps one of the most impressive place I visited was the Mont St-Michel. You can see the picture above.
Mont St-Michel from distance
From a distance, you can actually see it standing above the plains. Basically, it is a cathedral built on a piece of rock and before they built a causeway, you can only get there when the tide was low. It was also a place of pilgrimage when the monks still stayed there. Now, it is a tourist haunt, but still a beautiful, haunting, and impressive place.
