We are finally at Mont St-Michel! Also known as Repunzel's castle from Disney's Tangled cartoon. It took about 4 hrs by bus from Paris to reached here.
It was a v touristy place inside and full of souvenirs and restaurants.
We went passed all these shops and made our way to the top where the chapel was located.
Exterior of the chapel.
Located at the top of the chapel was a golden statue of arch angel St Micheal.
View from the top, it was low tide at the time.
Interior of the chapel. The architecture was gothic in design.
Garden inside the chapel, where the monks grow their herbs or food.
Giant chimney!
The chapel was v big and we felt that the tour shd have given us an audio guide which I saw most of the other tourists were using. We opted for the free and easy without a tour guide but then I feel the tour shd have given us the option of getting an audio guide in this case. Anyway there was not much time as we are only given 4 hrs in Mont St-Michel before we need to go back to Paris by 4 hrs bus.
Good bye....it was an amazing and beautiful place but don't think I will come back again as the journey there was too long and there really wasn't anything else you can do nearby.
