France - Day 10

We started the morning in Bayeux with a breakfast at a local bakery a short walk from Le Castel Nobel Guesthouse. Here are some items from their bakery and chocolatier:








We then set out for the day to Mont St. Michel, about an hour's drive from Bayeux. Mont St. Michel is a monastery built by monks by hand. In the evening, the tide comes in and the monastery is isolated into an island.


I knew this place is a tourist attraction...but the crowds were more than I ever thought

All these cars must move out before the tide comes in in the early evening - otherwise, they'd be underwater
 


After touring Mont St. Michel, we returned to Bayeux and had dinner at our favourite crepe place, L'Insolite. Another amazing meal.
