Mama Eagles take on Mont Saint Michel
Mont Saint Michel is a beautiful hour drive from the hockey tournament Bear participated in last week in Caen, France in the Normandy region.
The picture does not do justice to this beautiful island commune. We were lucky enough for the tide to be low so we could come and go from the island as pleased. It would be beautiful to see the tide come in from the ocean, but one would have to be present 2 hours prior to opening and then one could not leave the island until a certain time.
It is hard to say what was the best part of the island…
The Shopping Street
The Multiple Museums
or The Abbey.
It is said that Mont Saint Michel is thought to have been around since 708 and is a beautiful example of military architecture. It was named in honour of the Archangel.
The Abbey is spectacular and one of the most unique monasteries I have seen while traveling Europe! Since the Mont is designed like a pyramid, the Abbey was constructed around the granite rocks.
