Panorama from the heights of Mont Saint-Michel
~~~~~
Looking toward the monastery from the cemetery.
There are 300 steps to the abbey.
The Cloister
The tide is out.
And, oh, so many doors. They were all very different and all works of art in their own right. I can only imagine how many hours it took to build a door without power tools. The sweet beauty of them all created by hands that loved and caressed the wood. And what is behind each door, a laundry, small chapel, a monk's cell? They are treasures all.

Thanks be to God!

Please visit Judith at Lavender Cottage for Mosaic Monday and share in the beauty offered there.

I have had a lot of trouble loading your post and with typing the comment. We have a slow connection here in the country and the music on your blog makes it near impossible!!! Love the photos when they eventually downloaded, we were there 2 years ago. Diane
