Beautiful Mont Saint Michel Monastery and night arrival to Nantes

Ladies and gentlemen, Mont Saint Michel

Road to MSM has been levelled up already,
but the carpark still gets covered with sand during hight tide and must be cleaned regularly

Let's go inside
Cathedral
Refectory - place where monks used to eat
Inner sanctum - garden with various herbs
Gigantic fireplace - can you imagine th fire to heat such a big room?
Teacher: Now kids, let's make a picture of you in the fireplace

This is how modestly MSM started a millenium ago
And now it looks like this
