Review and Local Tips for Mont-Saint-Michel

🏰🌊 Mont Saint-Michel | A dream island above high tide When the bus drove into the Normandy coast, the floating island and the monastery spire were seen from afar 👣Walking through the narrow cobblestone streets, lined with ancient hotels, bakeries, and small souvenir shops, it felt like being in Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. 📌Small travel notes: * ⏰ Be sure to check the high and low tide times, and witness the sea water surrounding the island with your own eyes, it's super shocking! *Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs and wear comfortable shoes * 🚆 Transportation: Take a train from Paris to Rennes, then transfer to a shuttle bus for about 1 hour #MontSaintMichel #圣Michel山 #法国旅行 #梦境之岛 #旅行的意义 #SlowTravel #时间停止地方
