Mont-Saint-Michel
A great photo of Mont-Saint-Michel at what appears to be high tide. Photo: Amaustan

The reality is something else these days: this amazing place is overrun by thousands of tourists at all times, like it's Disneyland. This postcard image of a hundred years ago is somehow more evocative of the medieval abbey.

There is really no way that Mont-Saint-Michel could ever look unappealing. Every photo is a winner. These postcards are from around 1900.

Finally, an evocative photo from today - taken from Avranches.
