2017-07-11-13 - Honfleur, Mont St. Michel

We headed from Étretat to Honfleur for lunch. We then spend two nights on Le Mont St. Michel.

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).
