The famous Mont St Michel





Joel was lucky enough to go visit Le Mont St Michel. An amazing site when his Mom went also as a child. Joel is still fascinated by everything that has to do with sword and knife...

Mont Saint-Michel (English: Mount Saint Michael) is a rocky tidal island in Normandy, roughly one kilometre from the north coast of France at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches.
Mont Saint-Michel was previously connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered at high tide and revealed at low tide. Thus, Mont Saint Michel gained a mystical quality, being an island half the time, and being attached to land the other: a tidal island.
