Last summer, me and Nico visited family in Britagne, on the way back to Paris we stop by at Le mont saint Michel.

Le mont saint Michel is one of beautiful island in Normady, France. About one kilometer north of France between the border of Couesnon river near Avranches. The island was formed by the great tide that occur and get called as"island of tide".

According to the legend, an angel appeared to Saint Michel Aubert (Bishop of Avranches) at 708C and ordered to build a church there. Several times bishop ignored the order until the angel of Michel made a hole with his hands on the skull of Saint Aubert! Sooo scary indeed!😭😭 Arrived in Normady we checked in at bed and breakfast named Les Valtires du mont st Michel. It cost € 60 for a double room plus petit-dejeuner. It was facing directly onto Le mont st michel! WOW 😍 To go to the island itself we had to take free shuttle bus. The first bus around 9 AM and the last bus around 6:20 PM, don't miss the last bus because the distance between the car park to the island about 2.5 km, which means you have to walk! LOL

In this island there were a lot of souvenir shops, restaurant, several hotels and also museums. There were four museums such as Archeoscope museum, museum of history, maritime and ecology museum and Tiphaine's house. Tickets admission to enter four museums is € 18 and if you buy separately will cost € 9 / museum. When I come, I'm really interested to see the parish church and straight walk to the abbey, climb about 350 stairs of the grand degree, yup it was really located above and need to fight to climb up!

Advice from me if you want to come here please come early in the morning until late afternoon or evening because all the sightseeing during the night very beautiful ❤❤ For dinner we ate in causeway area near by the island. Causeway was the designation road built on the wet ground, sometimes the road will close under water during the tide. For a romantic dinner we chose Restaurant St Aubert. That was my story, Au revoir Le mont st Michel A bientot !!
