Mont St. Michel, France {April 2014}

Back to blogging! I am determined to at least get some of our European Adventures on the blog but life just keeps happening!

After Normandy, we went down to Mont St. Michel. And man, it is gorgeous!! It sits out on a little island that only allows foot traffic. The tide comes right up to the castle walls. It's nicknamed the "Tangled Castle" and I think it does well to live up to it's name.


The next morning, we explored the island & the castle before heading on to our next stop. 






We had so much fun wandering the streets and taking twists and turns to get to the castle! 


It was quite the hike UP! 


While inside the castle, a monk came and rang the bell, which was fun to see. Then we just wandered the grounds and explored! 







After some lunch we headed back down the streets. We stopped in at a cute country kitchen where they were mixing and cooking and banging on the pans in a unison rhythm. It was so neat! 



Our last views of Mont St. Michel....



We were headed to Colmar, France. Along the way we drove through Paris. I thought this would be my last glimpse of the Eiffel Tower but, alas...I went several months later. We also stopped at a rest stop and grabbed some dinner at like....10:30pm. This kid was always happy to have Fanta or Orangina while traveling!
