Mont St Michel
Trip No.52 Entry No.8 Date Added: 16th Aug 2022
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement

Mont St Michel submitted by theCaptain on 4th Jan 2013. They are trying to cut off the Mont again, to get the sea to surround it once more.
I read at the new controlling dam on the river that the land has risen 4.9 metres since the 1960s. Much of these new grassy marshes is being dug up and pushed into the river, hopefully to get washed away.

Calvaire De Louisfert

Site Type: Standing Stones

Visited: Yes on 24th Jun 2013. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 1 Access 5
Calvaire De Louisfert submitted by AlexHunger on 2nd Jun 2005. Cemetery of hundreds of megaliths uprooted from their rightful place in entire region between 1872-1892 by local Abbé Cotteux and supplanted by crossed and saints. An utter obscenity of kitsch and Christian Chauvinism. Abbé Cotteux is also buried in the Calvaire. If you love megaliths, don't come here.
