  • Old/ancient relief of Michael telling Bishop Aubert of Avranches (in 708, while sleeping) to build an oratory on what is now Mont St. Michel. Supposedly Michael left a thumbprint on Aubert's skull and there is such a skull with something like the impression on it (on display at St. Vervais d'Avranches basilica).
  • Inside the royal(?) reception hall.
  • Other end of the royal(?) reception hall.
  • The crypt of St. Martin. (Couldn't find out much about him.)
