Seeing this scene is like seeing "Harry Potter"

๐ŸŒŸใ€Mont Saint-Michel Guide: A medieval murder scene, even the sea water is a group performance! ใ€‘ --- ### ๐Ÿฐ Attractions: Admission Guide to Hogwarts France 1. Mont Saint-Michel Castle - Opening hours: 9:00-19:00 (the monastery ticket is 11 euros, it is recommended to buy a combined ticket including an audio guide, otherwise looking at the stones is like taking a high-level mathematics class) - Must-see operations: - Take a selfie while walking in the cloisters of the monastery and post it on Instagram with the caption "One nun is absent from work today" - Find the right tide schedule. When the tide is high, the sea water moves faster than the delivery guy, and you can instantly get the island effect. 2. Hiking on the beach (with a guide) - Walk in the mud to find shipwreck treasures (actually shells), remember to wear old shoes, otherwise your shoes may become "tidal flat limited edition" - Watch out for quicksand! Local quote: "You'll get sucked in faster than you'll run out of euros" 3. The best spot on the observation deck - free! Near the La Caserne parking lot, take a panoramic photo to avoid 99% of tourists. It is recommended to imitate Gandalf's pose in "The Lord of the Rings" --- ### ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Food: A Foodie's Guide to the Middle Ages 1. Must-eat soul food - Galette: I recommend La Mรจre Poulard, but donโ€™t use a knife and fork like the tourists, just roll the galette with your hands and pretend youโ€™re a medieval noble eating with your hands - Pre-salรฉ lamb: Grass-fed lamb has a natural sea salt flavor and is so oily that it can be used as lip balm. Pair it with cider to soothe the greasiness. 2. Money-saving tips - Buy "Mont Saint Michel" biscuits (5 euros/box) in the town at the foot of the mountain. The same ones at the top of the mountain are 3 times more expensive. Don't ask why the packaging is the same - Buy a bottle of cider from Carrefour supermarket (3 euros) and mix it with sparkling water to make the same "Sacred Mountain Special" as in the bar. 3. Lightning warning - The so-called "traditional omelette" on the island is actually a product of fooling tourists in the 19th century. The price is enough to buy three cups of Starbucks --- ### ๐Ÿก Accommodation: Poor Guy's Castle View Room 1. Le Relais du Roy, a small town at the foot of the mountain - Hostel bed is 25 euros per night, you can see the light show of the Holy Mountain when you open the window, the disadvantage is that the sound insulation is about the same as the medieval city wall 2. B&B Chambre d'hรดtes La Jacotiรจre - Farmhouse 50 euros/night, breakfast with homemade applesauce, and petting the landlord's donkey (it loves taking photos more than you do) 3. The Ultimate Freeloader - Stay in the nearby town of Pontorson (10 minutes by car), the Ibis Budget hotel chain only costs 60 euros, the money saved is enough for two lamb meals --- ### ๐Ÿš— Traffic tricks 1. Free shuttle bus - There is a shuttle bus from the parking lot to the foot of the mountain. Don't follow the example of others and take a horse-drawn carriage (30 euros per person, the horse's expression says "Another leek has arrived") 2. Paris departure guide - Take the TGV to Rennes Station (2 hours), then take a direct bus (1 hour). Reciting "Notre Dame de Paris" on the bus can enhance the atmosphere 3. Notice for self-driving drivers - Parking is charged per day (about 15 euros). It is recommended to park farther away to ride shared bicycles and cosplay as a medieval messenger. --- ### ๐Ÿ’ก Life-saving trivia 1. Donโ€™t follow the example of Game of Thrones and ride into the sea when the tide is high. French firefighters are charged exorbitant bills for saving lives. 2. Wear non-slip shoes! The monastery stairs are steeper than the postgraduate entrance examination score line 3. Go to the mountain before 8 am or after 6 pm to avoid the crowds of tourist groups 4. Be careful when buying silver-plated spoons from souvenir shops. If you keep them at home, you will feel like you have stolen a church relic. --- Final advice: At Mont Saint-Michel, please always keep the expression of a "persecuted nobleman" - after all, every stone here is older than your love story! ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ
