Mont Saint-Michel

The most beautiful site and sight in a world occupied by man and women must be the fabulous monastery/city of the Arch-Angel Saint-Michael. The winged angel covered in gold leaf is crushing the dragon/serpent. The beautiful medieval armoured warrior protects the bay and the surrounding salt marches. If you ever get over to this area don't miss it. A visit to the city without going as far as the monastery is a bit like having a wonderful lunch but not having the desert. The lamb is particularly quoted and is 'pré salé' because of its feeding grounds.
