Mont Saint Michel

Another road trip from Paris to Mont Saint Michel. As you probably recall it is the place where the tide comes in faster than a horse can gallop.
A very impressive sight when approaching the Mont.

The kids were not that impressed this time seeing the drawbridge that led into the town. By now they had seen so many of them.

We were impressed, though, with the number of tourists at this time of year that were making their way up to the abby. It must be incredibly packed in the summer.

People making a “pilgrimage” across the tidal flats to Mont Saint Michel. Carl Beaudoin had done it and said it was rough as most people do it in bare feet and the small ripples in the hard packed sand hurt after a while. You also have to use a guide as there are patches of quicksand.

Making our our way up the Mont.
