Mont-Saint-Michel, an abbey built between the 11th and 16th centuries, rises from a rugged island on an overcast day. Located in France’s Normandy region, the Abbaye du Mont St-Michel, as it’s known in French, was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1979. It is dedicated to the Archangel Saint Michel.

Hi! My name is Tricia Mitchell. I delight in telling stories about my slow travels through more than 65 countries. Some of my highlights have included sharing meals with locals in Armenia, Cambodia, and Tunisia; sipping sparkling wine with French cousins in Alsace; milking goats in a sleepy Bulgarian village; and training with a Japanese mine-clearance team in Laos. My husband, Shawn, and I are based in France’s Loire Valley.
Gorgeous blog, Tricia, and I LOVE the idea of posting a photo-of-the-day in between verbal posts. What a great idea!
Doreen, happy you’ve stopped in! The ‘photo du jour’ is an idea I’d borrowed from various photo and travel blogs. It’s a perfect technique on days when time to write is limited. Please feel free to incorporate it into your chocolate travel blog!
What a fantastic shot!
Hello Ana & thank you. I have many more images from Mont-Saint-Michel and will post them soon. For me, the most magical moment near the abbey was standing on the tidal flats looking up at the magnificent structure, while the water rushed around me! Your home country (Argentina) is a place I hope to visit someday!
