Mont-St-Michel a village in NormandyPlaces to visit in Mont-St-Michel
Mont-St-Michel is a rocky island on the Normandy coast. It rises out of a wide sandy bay with one of highest tide in Europe. The tides can vary as much as 15m and the car park can be under water so time your visit.
Le Mont-St-Michel  At the top of the Mont is the gothic fortress abbey. The cobble streets up to the Abbey are lined with half timbered buildings. Which contain the usual tourist shops, cafes and expensive restaurants. It gets very crowded in the summer. I found walking along the ramparts less busy and the sea views are spectacular.
