It looks like it is straight out of a movie! Incredible, beautiful, amazing....beyond words! So well preserved....just astounding!
Maybe a good place to make a horror flick... 😁
Thank you for this beautiful presentation I hope to be able to visit this wonderful place some day in person. My parents took me to Carcassonne in southwestern France when I was a child and that experience has stayed with me ever since.
Thanks Henry for your comment. Yes, visiting Mont Saint Michel is an experience that will stay with you forever
Agree on the voice. Great for inducing sleep, even for Insomnia. And the music makes me think I am sitting in the dental office waiting room, about to have a tooth pulled.
Lmao 😂
I wish the travel channel would show things like this.
I'm watching this in a bed in "La Mère Poulard", a hotel inside the Mont saint Michelle with an extraordinary view.... it's a magical place
Hodge Hill Girls School. BIRMINGHAM. UK. “Mont San Michel”.
I once visited this beautiful place, having never heard of it. I found myself at this incredible location due to a series of events that took place during the month of June, 1983.
A friend and I had recently celebrated our 18th birthdays, and we booked a camping holiday near to the French, Brittany town of Cancale.
The day of departure from BIRMINGHAM coach station, saw us aboard a double decker coach. We sat aloft. On the journey out of the city, a housing estate captured my interest. The estate lay to the right of the motorway, I saw a working man´s club, petrol station, small shopping precinct and a large secondary school perched on the hill overlooking the estate. I also noticed particular homes and their neat front gardens.
We arrived at the camp site, located on the outskirts of Cancale. We soon discover that there was a group of school girls on an end of term cultural trip, also at the camp site. They told us they were from Hodge Hill Girls School, Hodge Hill, BIRMINGHAM. They had arrived in two mini vans, so I guess there may have been approximately 20 in their party.
The girls were aged 15 and 16. Instincts kicked in, and so did the only game in town.
My friend and I somehow got invited by the teachers, to accompany them all on a day trip. We must have appeared to be reasonably safe and respectable. We travelled at the very rear of one of the decrepit mini buses in a couple of spare seats. We had no idea at this point where we were heading. We supplied the teachers with Tape Cassettes, and were soon travelling through French country side listening music of the band of the day “Japan”.
We eventually arrived at Mont San Michel, and we began our pilgrimage against gravity. We slowly meandered up through the cobbled streets, taking in nearly all of the gift shops, until we eventually arrived at the summit, in the company of our new friends. Lunch time came around, and we all ate in the grounds immediate to the Abbey. The views was spectacular. The company was very lovely and 1983 school girl esc.
I can still visualize where we sat to eat, and with whom we sat. I sensed that something very synchronistic was taking place.
The holiday ended, and my friend and I returned home. Part two of this story commenced after receiving a phone call, from one of those delightful young ladies. I would later learn that the housing estate that had caught my attention was home to most of the girls and the secondary school on the hill was their school.
我去过這裡两次,非常美好的旅程
Interesting footage and informative historical information. But ugh...that lounge music. Maybe some lute or 13-14th century french music to fit the mood and time periods of it's early history...?
We tried not to be too didactic. Thanks for the advice, anyway
Nice documentary, but the music is terrible and sounds like either porno or elevator music. With this music, they make common what they are describing as extraordinary with their words.
@@TravelAndDiscover How about this: ua-cam.com/video/et21pcSY9XI/v-deo.html
@@TravelAndDiscover, how wrong you went in the opposite direction! Better to not have had any music at all than to ruin the visuals and distract from the narrator with that cheap vulgar bar music. Next time, PLEASE get someone with better musical judgement AND a sound engineer who will keep the music softer! It won't be "didactic" or annoying if you keep it soft and TRULY in the background, not competing for the listener's attention while they're trying to learn from the narrator.
I agree, ruins the entire mood.
i don't mind or care what you chose for the background music. I've been to Normandy and the Mont about 20 times and just to be able to see it on video made my day! Still haven't walked around the base when the tide is out... Wishing you a wonderful Easter and summer holiday season!
i've been there. there's something magical about the place. i am planning to go back
Yes! Your so right! Magical place!
Magnificent! Love the documentary. Greetings from Los Angeles California
I genuinely appreciated the opportunity to see and tour the outside AND inside of this amazing achievement. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you putting this comprehensive video together ❤
Thanks Josh for your comment
Aloha ! Brilliantly well done ! Thank you so much.
I rode in from Normandy in '99. I stayed 2 nights at Le Mouton Blanc, 50170 Grande Rue. 👌
Such a spiritual special place deserves music befitting its history, religion and architecture. So much medieval music is hauntingly beautiful, there's no reason to not use it--it would fit so much more, and enhance the experience of this video.
Enjoyed my tour
She's putting me to sleep!
boring females ruin a good story, by being herself... 😂😂😂
I'm not sure who said she was a good storyteller, but she only good if she tells bedtime stories 😂
She tells the story with zero passion, just ZZZzzz
Gregorian chant would be more appropriate.
Sehr schöner Videobeitrag
Good commentary but I would wish for a bit more enthusiasm from the narrator. The music is annoying. I've been there twice. I would certainly revisit if I were in the area again. Have an omelet. The island is famous for them.
Super informative
Thanks a lot Tim! Very kind of you to leave your comment!
This is a cornerstone to my ancestry - Mont. Saint Michel. And it makes me long for a time I never knew. Salute to the Normans, and to the hands and minds who built this masterpiece.
@@banditop276 initially yes but the Normans made it into something great.
Apparently my last name comes from this place, but if not I still wanna go! Is such a beautiful place 😍
1208 is definitely from this place
17.11.2022.Very good and best.
Love to visit there and even take magical images of the place.
20th and 21st century, people build houses, churches and other buildings that might last 50 years if you're lucky.
These 10th Century monks:
The music😩
The narration😩 I heard 4 different accents
Yup, Sad, Sad, sad.
Daaawwwggg, the narrator's voice is so smooth and soothing! Furthermore, the camera work is quite spot on and truly engaging, uncovering, in depth, the history of the abbey. The funky jazz accompaniment "really ties the room together" and the surname, Gibellini, reminds me of the pro-imperial Ghibellini faction, in conflict against the Guelfi (alongside whose lines Dante Alighieri fought, being himself in favor of ecclesiastical sovereignty)
Simply..."great"!
Narrators voice relaxing, music relaxing, architecture mind blowing 🤯😲. I just can't get my head around how people built this magnificent structure with primitive tools 😲😳
The tools were not primitive. There were the same as we use today, just not mechanized. Cranes and simple machines were known for thousands of years.
the back ground song did not have to slap that hard
I wish France was a Monarch today.
Its such a shame its not.
😞😔👑⚔️🛡️⚜️⚜️⚜️
The Kingdom.
I will go there, so it's and it's done.
Great video!! They have since dated the bricks in the underground chapel to around 960AD
Electric jazz guitar. Ahem...
Let's not think about turning this into a Vegas-style nightclub.
Agreed. Horrible, cheesy Vegas or Atlantic City casino background music. Total embarrassment.
Even 'Charlie Brown' background music would be better...
OMG, the soundtrack on this is brutal...ruined the video. You should re-edit and plug in something other than 1972 lizard lounge.
Great video, but robotic monotonic narration is ruining the watching experience..
The lack of torches is astounding, how do they deal with the mobs?
99...أياااا سيدك ....مون سان ميشال هذه جااااامع mosquée ....يكذبوا في أصل عينهم...جامع ...جااامع يصلون فيه....❤
Gorgeous...but you could have chosen some fitting music for this video! Not irritating, ugly noise!
Nostradamus
The video/ history is fun, but that music is plain painful.
Walking on quicksand with this “Normandy” claim. Bien sûr, an ancestor of the Dukes of Normandy is buried there, namely Conan I, Duke of Brittany.
I like the 70's porn music in the background.
Music so distracting that I reluctantly turned off. Annoying and can’t understand why it’s included.
Arr! Worth watching, but not with that annoying music in the way. I quit after 5 minutes.
Awesome 👍
The narrator girl sounds SEXY 🔥
Wonderful views & information but ridiculous & detracting music choice!
Michel
This was great, except the awful jazz music. It would have been better to have no music at all.
is this narrated by Jackie Kennedy?
I'm kidding, by the way
Notradam
Commentary voice is sadly boring and totally ruins the experience of the documentary.
terrible, why auto play.
Wait just a minute. This place should be under water by now because of rising sea levels due to climate change I think it’s called now.
Salvation is a gift offered to the world by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, yet people complicate it with religion.
Here is a message for lost souls - Jesus Christ is God, manifest in the flesh and He came on earth to die for our sins. He bore our sins on the cross of Calvary. Have you accepted His free gift of Salvation? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Have you truly BELIEVED from your heart that Jesus Christ is LORD? Have you BELIEVED in the death, burial and resurrection found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KING JAMES Bible? That's how a lost soul can get saved.
Remember that it's NOT what we do that gets us saved, it's what Jesus Christ DID on the cross of Calvary, that's what SAVES a lost soul.
All you have to do to be saved, and on your way to heaven is place your TRUST in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ and nothing else, as sufficient for your salvation, (Romans 3:25 KJB - "Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;")
(Propitiation means the act of appeasing wrath, Jesus took your place on the cross.)
Will you accept Jesus Christ as your saviour by simple faith, simply trusting in his shed Blood which is sufficient to save your soul from hell?
The last sentence is all you must do to be saved, and that is FAITH, not works, TRUSTING in what someone else did for you is the only thing that is not a work.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJB - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2 Corinthians 5:7 KJB - (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Please get saved NOW before it's too late for your soul!! There's 1 Eternity to choose from, Heaven or Hell, choose wisely for your souls!!
Grace and Peace to all in Christ Jesus!!
I agree - music is not befitting this Catholic monastery.
My ears are bleeding
The middle ageeeeeeeehhhhss.
Architectuuuuuurrree
the preciooooouuuus! 😂🤣🤦♂️
Horrible music and sleepy voice....cant watch this..
why that music????
That voice sounds like the voice over of late night adverts that sell sexual services.
Thank God it wasn't built in England or Henry VIII would have ordered it destroyed.
Thanks for your comment Ruth! 🙏
Absolutely beautiful but this woman’s accent is so strange and off putting, the jazz music doesn’t help either.
The place is unreal!! The music is Horrible!!!
