Mont St. Michel - Wednesday Aug 25 2010


This is a fortified Monastery built on a massive rock in the of a wide sandy bay.  It was started over a thousand years ago.  It was first a stronghold then as a monastery.  One road goes around the rock with shops on both sides then ends in the monastery.

Normandy Coast








































The first stop in France was the Normandy Coast.  The cemetary here was very impressive.
