Visiting the Mont Saint-Michel in France

 

I visited the Mont Saint-Michel in Normandie in May during my trip to France and I took some photos. It's such a beautiful and unique place.

I recommend finding an hotel close by, and spend the night there, so you can go as early as you can.

It's a magical place!
