Mont St. Michel

So after La Pointe du Hoc we headed over to Mont St. Michel. On the way there there was an accident or something so we got to see some of the emergency vehicles of the Loire Valley.



So for those of you that don't know, Mont St. Michel is a medieval abbey and village that is perched precariously atop a rocky island and it is surrounded by sandy flats at low tide and by the sea at high tide. It was a pretty amazing place to see.

A lot of the stairs in all the places where like this. You could get dizzy if you weren't careful

After Mount St. Michel we went to the Loire Valley. The boys always fell asleep in the same way.




We had dinner in the Loire Valley then went on a little tour. This is a chapel in Loire Valley
