Architectural and spiritual wonder standing in a gigantic and majectic bay, Mont Saint Michel is a gem shining under the ever changing lights of the ocean. At low tide, I press my feet onto the wet sand and wander in awe for hours with only the church as a compass pointing out to the sky. I can’t take my eyes off the  the shimmering colours of the crepuscular lights, and the sparkling reflections in the rising waters. But I eventually leave with reluctance and watch the Mont disappearing into the night.
