Through the Another Dimension we tumbled….. to Mont Saint Michel – a voluminous abbey built atop an earthen outcrop in the mudflats on the northern coast of France. The daily high tide effortlessly wraps its molten arms around the outcrop, protecting it and its occupants from advancing hordes.
Building commenced around 700AD.
It was once used as a prison.
If the bitter cold water doesn’t scare you, the biting north wind will.
The people of the Middle Ages regarded Mont Saint Michel as an “image of paradise”. My impression was this: if Mont Saint Michel were to be represented by a pillow, it would be a very beautiful pillow….made of the hardest, coldest stone-ice-hybrid rock. I guess that suggests how tough life in the middle ages was.
