3. West Terrace.

몽생미셀 수도원(Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel). 프랑스(France)

 

 

The west terrace 3 consists of the original parvis of the abbey church and the first three bays

of the nave destroyed in the 18th century following a fire. The classical facade was rebuilt in

1780. From here you have a general view over the bay, from the rock of Cancale, the to west

and in Brittany, to the cliffs of Normandy to the east. You can also make out two granite

massifs, Mont-Dol inland to the south west and the isle of Tombelaine to the north. Out to sea,

you can see the archipelago of the Iles Chausey, source of the granite from which the abbey

was built.

Finally, the terrace offers a unique view of the Neogothic spire of the church tower built in 1897

with the gilded copper statue of Saint Michael on top.
