  • The inner draw bridge.
  • 11:40 pm and all is getting quiet.
  • View from our hotel room window - morning high tide.
  • View from table for lunch.
  • Notice the spear motif - emphasizing the fortress aspect of Mont St. Michel.
  • Omelettes are common at Mont St. Michel, so that's what we had. (Along with the French Fries.)
  • Hurry up and get the picture taken so I can eat!
  • Just kidding...
  • Mmmm, carmel custard for Naomi.
  • Bryan just had the boring ice cream with chocolate sauce and chantilly with nuts on top.
  • Rick Steves claims that this is one of the last restaurants that is family owned. (We ate at this restaruant, we didn't stay at this hotel.)
  • The sun did come out a bit this day.
  • Despite what seemed like his best efforts to fall over the railing, Bryan stayed on the bridge while taking the picture.
  • You can see on the right a group of people taking the 3 hour guided tour of the mud flats (go bare foot, shorts preferred).
  • This driver is paying (at least some) attention.
  • View from just the other end of the bridge.
  • Sunlight on le Mont.
  • Close up of our hotel (one with the red wood insets) as seen from the bridge. You can see where we had lunch just to the right.
