This place has been on my bucket list for quite a while. It is just amazing to me how in our society, we have a hard time completing a road construction project in a 5 year time-span, yet these very brilliant people (so long ago) built these incredible structures in such difficult surroundings - especially when considering tides and temperatures and no electricity or gas!! Mont Saint-Michel is an amazing Abbey built on a tidal island on the edge of the English Channel.
...AND.... for the best part....they have Sheep there!!! Sheep are my absolute weakness. I knew that there was a chance that we would see sheep in front of Mont Saint-Michel, but I was in absolute heaven when we came across the sheep at the same time the Sheep herder was herding them in for the night. And without liability - we were actually able to be in with the sheep as they were being gathered up. I. was. in. Heaven.!!!! My family knows this about me, so I think their smiles were more in support of how happy I was than their actual excitement for the sheep! The. absolute. best!!!

| Our adorable little French Cottage that we rented for a few days... |
 |
| And this guy was our neighbor |
 |
| and so were these guys... (they were very interested in us!) |
 |
| I was soo happy!! |
 |
| There were sooo many of them. On a side note, we loved that they can still herd sheep here and that it isn't sold out to Condos or amusement parks overlooking the island! Simply beautiful! |
 |
| Amazing!! |
 |
| The sheep were everywhere! :-) There was even a bit of a traffic jam! |
 |
| Even Kiwi was smiling! |
 |
| On the island, looking up at the Abbey (crazy that this is a real place!!) So glad that we finally made it there to visit!! |
