Travels - Mount Saint Michel, France

Mrupupup visited the famous UNESCO site in France - Mount Saint Michel. The place is famous for the church sited on top of a rocky tidal island and the religious community. Located at the Normandy area in France, it will be tricky to go there unless you are travelling on a package tour. Well, Mrupupup went there by local transportation. First, I stayed in Saint Malo for a night, then I bought the train and bus package for about 21 euros (two ways) to Mount Saint Michel. Try to buy early at the SNCF train station at Saint Malo. If you don't speak French, its ok just point to the brochure of Mount Saint Michel. I am quite surprised that every transport (bus and train) runs on time in France.

Mount Saint Michel is special because of its location. When high tides come in, the whole place will be surrounded with water. If one were to go around the area during low tide, you can see the tidal sands and mud flats. Do pay 9euros to enter the abbey of the church, you would be glad to understand the history and see the wonderful monastery.  Go right to the top of the church area and enjoy the stunning view. Really beautiful place.
