Venerating The Splendor of Mont Saint Michel Architecture

This time I made sure to be up early to awaken my lazy brothers who, by the way, were the reason why we were left by the rapid train the last time we toured Manche, France. Our destination for the shining sunny day is to visit the celebrated Mont Saint Michel and its Fortified Abbey. The last time, we visited the exquisite Saint Bernadette at Nevers and went to the florid casino at Monte Carlo.

This celebrated infrastructure belongs to the popular pilgrimage sites in the awe-inspiring region of France. It is a impressive monastery built atop a rocky islet that overlooks a immense ocean view. This impressive infrastructure is made possible by the help of the Dukes of Normandy as well as the assorted pilgrims. Despite the toughness of building on the island, which is only accessible by foot, they continued to embellish the beauty of this infrastructure. The celebrated fortified abbey became a prison for political opponents during the tumultuous French Revolution, and later on this building has become an official French National Heritage in 1872.

Visiting this awe-inspiring building is really wonderful because I am stunned by its splendor and beauty. So next time you tour France, be sure to drop by Manche to look at the admirable Mont Saint Michel.
