The Road to "The L.H." (France part 3)

Heading to Mt. Saint Michelle from Caen started out rather tame and ultimately was easy, until it became dark and we realized that we were looking for a rural hostel in a tiny village. A missed turn presented us with the tricky dilemma of finding out how to turn around and find the cozy village hostel (it was much simpler than we imagined).

Just around the corner from the quiet bed & breakfast / hostel was Mont Saint Michelle, an amazing place to visit that I recommend to all. I also recommend renting a car instead of public transportation trips to more rural areas, it puts the schedule in your hands and gives you total control, and the ability to see beautiful villages that are not connected with commercial bus lines.

Mont Sant Michelle is a medieval monastery and now turned village for wealthy individuals that was an epic stronghold since the 8th century. The views from atop it's terraces of the salt flats that surround it are truly breathtaking.

With the majority of the morning spent meandering about in the salty air, we finally got the car, and headed north towards Bayeux to see the Normandy beaches..
