Photo Essay With Black and White Photography
Breakfast was included at the Airbnb in Hirel. We had coffee from huge bowls and a baguette with jam while watching the French news.
Today's goal is Mont Saint-Michel, and we aim to arrive at 10 a.m., before the crowds appear. It is Sunday, so the crowds will arrive in large numbers. The parking lots are approximately 2.5 km away from the site, and you bus the rest of the way.
The setup is efficient, but I struggle with the arrangement, which ruins the experience to a certain degree. I feel as if I am getting on a ride at Disneyland.
The bus is jam-packed, but that's okay. My Disney phobia disappears as we walk into Mont St. Michel. We found it very Impressive!
Mont Saint-Michel is a majestic marvel set right on the sea, walls surrounding it and tiered sections with the abbey majestically crowning the work at the peak.
The views are amazing. We saw several people walking in the sand below at the low tide. Some were well prepared with gumboots or wet suit surfing shoes.

The photos in this article are made using a Fujifilm X-T1. Lenses: XF 14mm f/2.8 R - XF 23mm f/1.4 R - XF 35mm f/2 R WR - XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR (links to my camera and lens reviews). Editing was done with Lightroom and I have made use of Fujifilm’s film simulations in some of the photos.
