MONT ST. MICHEL

Close your eyes and go back in memory to the wonderful castles that you first saw in your books of fairy stories. Instead ol the moat and drawbridge, picture the fortress on a rocky isle towering nearly two hundred feet above the waves of the sea, cut off at high tide from all lana invaders. Around it cluster a few smal houses and shops and on the rock foundations rises an Abbey founded in the yea A.D. 708, over twelve hundred years ago, with cloisters and sombre halls about it, and you have a picture of one of the strangest and most impressive structures in the world—Mont St. Michel off the coast of Brittany in France.
