Unique Mont Saint Michel

All around the Mont St Michel, beyond the sand are the famous 'prés salé' or salty marshes.
Lambs who have grazed on the salty grass of these marshes taste delicious and sell at a huge premium in France.
They lead a fairly laid back life and are free to go wherever they please, including on the road!

Still used as a place of worship

The main (and only) street may look like a never ending row of shops and restaurant, the site is still a place of worship. Visitors remember this fact and treat the nuns and monks with respect.
