Start in Beauvoir Camping Car Parc. We actually wanted to have Mont Saint Michel to ourselves on that day at this time of year - but unfortunately that wasn't the case, we noticed that there were also tourists from countries that we hadn't met in Europe during Corona.
Conclusion: As always, it was very crowded in the streets of Mont …

Today, after yesterday's natural spectacle, this was a cultural highlight.
The mountain, which looks like a mirage from afar, only reveals its secret in the crypts to which image 35 leads.
On image 31, you can see the peak of the original rock in the ground area of the crypt. The platform for the church lies several meters above it. …

🇫🇷 9/1/2022 - Must Sees in Normandy. The island of Mont Saint-Michel is really beautiful with its narrow streets and medieval flair. If you can, you should walk there at low tide and hike around the island.
We started very early from a free parking lot.

Oh yes 🤗 Mont Saint-Michel 🥰
Isn't it beautiful 🤩
But the closer you get, the busier it gets, because people like me want to see it 😇


Well, during the day it's honestly terrible. But after 6 p.m. it gets better, and towards the evening you can explore places almost entirely on your own.

Today's autumn tour took us to Mont Saint Michel ⛰️
What an impressive structure. You can see it from afar from the highway. Finding a parking spot was completely problem-free thanks to the off-season and the day of the week.
We cycled and cycled and didn't seem to get any closer to the giant 🤣
I was very impressed by …
