Mont St. Michel



Me in a cool little alcove along the wall the surrounds Mont St. Michel



An alter, pretty self explanatory




A courtyard in the monestary




(close to far away) Audrey, Rueben, Erica, Cheney



The main chapel in the cathedral at the top of Mont St. Michel and a part of the monestary




Here are Liz, Audrey, and I standing in front of a door on an outside courtyard at the Monestary in Mont St. Michel


This is moi

This is another scene from the monestary

This is a picture of the town and the streets that wind up towards the monestary



This is a picture of the whole of Mont St. Michel. You can see the monestary at the very top and the village that is built up around it. On the outside there is a wall that holds back the waters from the bay. The bay looks out into the Atlantic Ocean. There is a road that is built up and leads out to the monestary, but the parking lots are situated on either side. The island is closed off at night and in the morning because it becomes completely surrounded by water; the tide raises the water levels 7 meters.

  1. Hey I remember seeing that monestary in my art history class! There is a lot of history in just that one place. The picture of the town streets reminds me of Harry Potter. Wish I was there with you! I miss you and Love you!
