Fairytale Island - Mont Saint-Michel, Normandie


The Fairytale Island Mont Saint-Michel is a rocky tidal island in Normandy, France. This is on the one hand a Fairytale Island (but real !) and on the other hand the place where the greatest tides in the world is running into and out of the Bay each day.

The islet, celebrated for its Benedictine abbey, has small houses and shops on its lowest level. Above these stand the monastic buildings, many of which date from the 13th century and are considered outstanding examples of Gothic architecture.
