Mont Saint Michel 🏰🇫🇷
One of those bucket-list places we’ve always wanted to visit — and this year, we finally did. This fairytale-like structure rising out of the bay looks like something straight out of a fantasy movie. And trust us, it’s even more breathtaking in real life.
We definitely recommend visiting outside the main tourist season and early in the morning if possible — it gets really crowded. If you’re traveling with a dog, be prepared for narrow alleyways where things can get a bit tight.
There’s a large parking area nearby, and from there, shuttle buses take you to Mont Saint Michel. Unfortunately, pets aren’t allowed on the buses, so staying in a nearby hotel or Airbnb and taking a scenic walk is a great option.
Fun fact: During low tide, the sea completely recedes, turning the island into a fortress surrounded by sand. But beware — the tide comes back in quickly and dramatically, said to be “as fast as a galloping horse.”
Have you already visited Mont Saint Michel, or is it still on your list?
Happy Tuesday! 🐺🤍🐾
