Mont St Michel
by lynad
Mac - Sorry, it would have been helpful if I added the location in the description. The mount is a small island off the coast of Normandy in France. It is set in a huge bay with very varied tides. It is a true walled city but as France's second largest attraction most of the shops are very touristy but there are homes, churches and even a graveyard. It felt like I was in Helm's deep in the Lord of the rings film

Adam,
This is a fascinating shot.
Is this a true walled city? Folk still live there?
And where is it?
I'm amazed that there has been no expansion outside the original walls after all this time.
Intrigued.
Gotta get there one day!
