MONT ST MICHEL NORMANDY FRANCE

FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST: FReepMail me if you would like to join.

Mont St Michel in Normandy is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. If you ever have the chance, go .

Climbing all the way to the top, to the magnificent statue of michael, the Archangel and watching the sunset at midnight on the mud flats left when the tides rush out is unforgettable. Watching the fastest tides in the world rush in, as Victo Hugo said, at the speed of galloping horses, is an amazing sight.

My wife and I (way back before kids, in 1983) spent a couple of weeks in France with friends who had a 5th floor penthouse in the 8th arrondisment. (Great pad, with a roof deck and a view of the Eiffel Tower.) Anyway, we spent over a week castle-hopping across the country and Mont St Michel was definitely among the coolest. What a great trip!
