I'm just about finished with this series of posts about the Mont-Saint-Michel. I have one other post for tomorrow. After that, I think I'll head north into the Normandy region called the Cotentin. I've been there many times over the years for a couple of reasons that I'll write about soon.
Meanwhile, here are some photos of details that I noticed on one of my trips to the Mont.
Great details. Is that an attic air vent in the first picture?

I think it is, BettyAnn.
DeleteIt is an inspiring place, with lots and lots of stairs to climb.
ReplyDeleteYes, so many stairs and not many handrails!
DeleteWow, what a place. Oddly, I don’t remember anything at all about being there… just the train ride, and the sand (probably because I have photos).
ReplyDeleteI know I went to the Mont-Saint-Michel back in 1972-73 when I was living and working as a teaching assistant in Rouen, but I don't remember much about the visit. The only thing I remember was going to a café somewhere out in the Normandy countryside, because we Americans were received so warmly by the owner and customers there. They were happy to know we were American, that we spoke passable French, and that we loved being in France. They said France owed our families and compatriots a debt of gratitude for all the United States did to free them from the grip of the Nazis.
