Mont Saint Michel - A sea-front fortress

#france #normandy The 6-hour drive from Paris might be tiring, but the final destination will take your breath. You may visit hundreds of villages and thousands of churches in Europe, but the abbey on this islet is definitely one of a kind. Similar to Notra Dame of Paris, it was built along the history of France’s Christianity, and bares the architectural features of many different eras. It enables you to explore how the marvellous minds of the builders improvised the limited techniques under harsh conditions, and how medieval monks endured their isolated life.
