Mont Saint-Michel

Postby KL-666 » Mon Sep 26, 2016 8:59 pm

The French have their famous Mont Saint-Michel on the coast of Normandy. I just found out the British have mimicked their own on their side of the Channel.

Kind regards, Vincent

With the small difference, the Mon St. Michel is a church and monastery while St. Michael's Mont was actually home to the St. Aubyns and fortification of the coast. So, depsite all similarities in the appearance, a total different purpose and architecture. And of course, St. Michael's Mont is not so much tourist napping than Mont St. Michel.

It's a bit much to say mimicked.... considering we're talking nearly a 1000 years ago... and British, nah I don't think so..

It was captured by a Norman knight for a King that spoke no English only French....

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?
