Watery Wednesday - Mont St Michel

On a trip to France in the Normandy region during January 2009, I was able to see one of the most magnificent structures I have ever set eyes on! Mont St. Michel.



I know there isn't a lot of water in this picture, but isn't it beautiful!
Lucky for us, the tide was out on this day.

After going through the Boulevard Gate and then the King's Gate, we walk along the "Grande Rue" (main street) with its museums, shops and houses dating from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Well this is starting to turn into a "story".  But if you would like to read about our day just click here

Now back to the water!  Here are a few more "watery" pictures.




Don't forget to check out some other magnificent "watery" photos over at "Watery Wednesday".  They will be glad you stopped by!

  4. It is so beautiful. I've been to France quite a few times, Paris, the Loire Valley, Bordeaux, Carcasonne, the Atlantic area, the French Riviera and the western side...but, thus far, I've missed Normandy. I hope I live long enough to visit there.

  6. This is a place that I have always wanted to go to but never quite made it. You have made it all the more appealing with the narrow streets and alleys shown in your images and post. Interestingly enough, there is another castle built on a rocky outcrop island called St Michaels mount near Penzance which i have to make do with instead a few years ago.

  13. Beautiful photos! Oh how fun to travel the world. Oh, the sights you must see.Thanks for visiting me and telling me about your trip to Coupeville. The place where we stayed in the little cottage was Coupeville, I didn't put that in because I couldn't remember and I was in a hurry. I would love to go back, we live 3,000 miles away now.
    Hugs, Cindy
