Here are some pictures I took when we arrived at a point where we could see the Mont St-Michel from afar and take some pictures. We had to share the landscape with sheep and cattle. We were there on June 20, 2006, and the place was a mob scene. We went back in early March 2007 for my birthday, and the crowds were not overwhelming at that time of year.
The pictures above and below are some that I took in the space of about 20 minutes as we walked around on little roads and along canals that cut through the salt marsh. I'm posting them in chronological order. As always, you can tap or click on the to enlarge them.
Love all of these, particularly the photo with the poppies! Would make a great screensaver or wallpaper for desktop.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for the poppies and MSM- so beautiful! Thanks for posting these memories.
ReplyDeleteJane and Aimée and I went together to Mont St Michel, probably in... November? No crowds, off season. We took the train, and then... I don't remember, we must have taken a bus after that?
ReplyDeleteEverything has changed at the Mont-Saint-Michel since they put in the new bridge almost 10 years ago. You probably took the train to the town of Portonson and then a short bus ride up to the Mont itself. I've only ever been there by car.
DeleteStunning photos of the approach to the Mont. Can't believe I've never been!
