Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel
We moved onto a very nice caravan site at Ponterson, which is 5 miles south of St-Michel.
The site is run by a very pleasant French family. We were allocated a huge plot which is a lot better than having to squeeze in. There was a super swimming pool on site.
The main reason for coming was to see the Abbey which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is all very impressive especially when you think when it was built and the tools that were available. The Abbey was begun in 708.
The first photo is of the narrow streets and the second of the whole Mont. One morning I cycled most of the way to St-Michel from the campsite, about 12 miles return.
