The Gateway to Paradise

Have you ever been to a place that was so astoundingly beautiful, that it didn't seem like it could be real?

This was one of those places for me.

Mont St. Michel, an abby in Normandy, France.
It's a magical place, very well captured :)

It does look magical.

Terrific shot to see the architectural details and balance of the entire structure...I seem to find beauty everyday that takes my breath away :).

In 2007 myself and four friends traveled from the UK on our motorbikes to France, and stayed in Genêts for a week. Each day we travelled to Normandy visiting the beaches, museums and war cemetery's. One late afternoon we visited Mont St. Michel, and had our evening dinner there. It is an incredible place to see in photographs, but to actually see for yourself is even more so. Thanks for the memory. Good shot.

It must be quite the experience to actually walk into there!

@gamelee We tried to have a meal there, but one thing we noticed while in France, was that dinner doesn't start until 7 pm in a lot of places. We usually had a late large breakfast and wanted to eat again around 5. Glad to remind you. It was truly amazing! The Normandy sights were awesome, too!

That is an amazing structure! You don't see too many of these around Ohio. FAV!

@skipt07 Trying not to judge Ohio too harshly now that I am back. It sure is less pretty seeming than it was before.

Quite unreal as you say! Still in great condition but I daresay no Kings live in it any longer! fav

When I hear Normandy, I think of D-Day. I'm so glad this survived that! It's so beautiful.

Ah, you got there? Good. It's quite incredible, isn't it? I hope it wasn't too busy. Beautiful image.

@jamibann It was perfect in every way. Just right busy. We got a latish start.

That is very impressive!

I don't believe I've ever seen a photo this clear of Mont. St. Michel. I've had it on a charm though, many times. So nice, Amanda.
