A kind of magic

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary. ~Aaron Rose

I have visited the Mont Saint Michel many times before but at the beginning of this week I literally saw it in a different light. We wanted to show MIL the MSM but it is not really suitable if you cannot walk very far. So a driving tour around the baie ~ bay was just the thing.

People in the summer take guided walks across the treacherous sands, the tide goes out a very long way and it can be a very dangerous place.



Far from the madding crowds
I love the coast after the summer visitors have left, the sun was blinding and it shimmered across the wet sands, giving us a spectacle I have never seen before. So now the baie, has become rather special to me.

So now I see the tourist attraction really has some magic!

You could use the French word scintiller for shimmer and sparkle
The French word for tide is marée
