The Monastery of Mont-Saint-Michel was built in the 800s and added to throughout the years. For years Monks, Nuns and Pilgrims wandered through the halls and today it is normally overun with tourists. Going at opening time on a February weekday we found ourselves to be alone most of the time (though a Japanese tour bus was at our heels at the beginning). A rarity indeed.
The Cloister Gardens
These pillars really are about too wide to spread your arms around.
