BUILT IN 708 AD..IT SEEMS THAT THE BISHOP OF AVRANCHES, AUBERT, WAS VISITED 3 TIMES IN A DREAM BY THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL WHO INSTRUCTED HIM TO BUILD A CHURCH ON THIS VERY ROCK. SO HE DUTIFULLY DID JUST THAT. IT'S FUNNY THOUGH, THE OTHER DAY I HAD A SIMILAR DREAM. BUT IN MY CASE, I SIMPLY GOT UP, WHEN TO THE BATHROOM, HAD A SMALL DRINK OF WATER, WENT OUTSIDE AND SMOKED A CIGARETTE, TRIED TO LOCATE ORION IN THE NIGHT SKY, AND RETURNED TO BED. APPARENTLY, I'M NOT SO EASILY MANIPULATED.



THE ENTRANCE TO THE CITY. DID I REALLY THINK THAT I WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE THERE ON A THURSDAY MORNING?




IF YOU CLICK ON THESE PHOTOS, YOU CAN ENLARGE THEM A SEE MORE DETAIL. THE DETAIL HERE IS THAT IF YOU ARE PARKED IN ONE OF SEVERAL PARKING LOCATIONS AT AROUND 18:00 HOURS (6:00PM TO YOU AND ME) YOUR CAR WILL BE UNDER WATER. THE TIDE RECEEDS VERY FAR OUT TO SEA LEAVING ENORMOUS STRETCHES OF BEACH FROM THE SHORE OUT TO SEA. PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN THE TIDE COMES IN, IT MOVES AT A RATE OF 18 KILOMETERS AN HOUR (APPROX. 12MPH). THINK AGAIN...YOU'RE NOT GOING TO OUT RUN THIS ONE.



YEA...I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THIS IDEA.



I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO GET TO THE TOP. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT I QUIT SMOKING FOR ABOUT 2HOURS OR SO.
