Mont St. Michel
It was a chilly and very windy day. Fortunately it didn't rain until we were done with our visit. Allie came with us...she is just hiding under the blanket!
The streets...leading up to the abbey.
The abbey. Legend has it that the abbey was founded in the 8th century, when Aubert, the bishop of Avranches, was visited by the Archangel Michel in a dream. Mont St. Michel sits atop a small island, connected to the mainland by an old causeway. It is said that this is the 4th most popular pilgrimage in the world.

You can see the sea and flat sand beaches from the receding tide behind us. This place was unreal!
