One of the many magical places, visually, that we visited in France was Mont-Saint-Michel. It takes your breath away. Literally.
As you approach it during the day, this fairytale like building rises out of a dry dusty field. Or the building is completely surrounded by water, depending on when you visit,seriously pay attention to the high tide times and where you park your car! And at night, well, as you can see...
We fought the tourists and the tacky tourist stands during the day, as you do. But we came back around midnight and it was, well, a sorta fairytale (and a little bit spooky!) wandering around this amazing old walled city at night.
As you can tell from the following 'postcards', my Memory Lane Curated project continues xox

These pictures are amazing! I have loved my trips to France and find it to be so beautiful, but this castles takes the cake! I have never visited but it is going on my list :)
I have always wanted to see Mont-Saint-Michel ... it looks so beautiful and your photos are lovely as always :)
I read a book last year that was set on the island and I just couldn't picture it in my mind. In the end, I Googled it. When the images came up, my mouth fell open. Fairytale indeed! It's definitely just another reason to go back to France.
This is dreamy! The first image is just unbelivable. All of them are.
Oh wow. It's amazing. My gorgeous Mum is heading to Paris in August. This is definitely on her 'to do' list. Such great images here. Keep heading down that memory lane. Pruxxx P.S. Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog. Px
Stunning pictures! Love the night view! Enjoy the fabulous weekend, Kellie xx
I've never seen it, but I've heard of how beautiful it is, how it is almost startling to see Mont-Saint-Michel appear...

Oooh I love MSM, it's such a gorgeous place to visit. Fabulous photos too, mine have never been anywhere as nice as those xx
Oh yes I remember this place so well. I used to live in France and visited Mont Saint Michelle several times. I agree with you on the tourist shops (so sad) but when you get to the top there are still some amazing little nooks to escape into.
Hope you didn't park by the gates.. so many people have lost their cars there due to the rapid tide change.. :)

Oh how wonderful.. place and photography..
I've had two trips to France and somehow didn't manage.. Mont-Saint-Michel on either.. maybe next time.. It is somewhere I've been wanting to see for years..
Have a great week.. ciao xxxx Julie
Wow! I can see why it took your breath away. It's totally stunning. I quite like the thought of it being spooky at night time. I bet you could imagine all sorts of things about its history far better at night time.
