question about northern france

[crazylilkelly]

Hi,

I know this is a forum for the UK but there doesn't seem to be one for france. I was wondering if any of you knew of the name of the place in northern france were @ low tide & only during certain months the ocean receeds between mainland & an island w/ a cathedral??? Once this happens, you can can walk all the way to the island w/ a guide & apparently there's quick sand everywhere???????? I saw this on a traveling show I was watching & cannot remember the name of the place for the life of me. Thanks bunches!!!!

I've been there I will come back when I remember the correct name, there is also one in the UK which is the same that is called Saint Michael on the mound in Cornwall. the french one id called Saint Michael but I forget the rest

Ok it is called Mont St Michael in Brittany, I have a link to the Uk one which is very similar and you will find some history of the two

Belinda-Wales and I have been there three times over the last 8 years. You really have to witness the speed of the tide coming into the estuary to believe it - it's phrased as 'the speed of a galloping horse' and is an awesome experience.

If you go, check the tide times as they can often be later in the evening and means that you don't have to spend all day there.

Cheers
