One of my favorite French scenes - sheep grazing on the salt-marshes near Mont Saint-Michel. A few sheep wouldn't have been a big deal, but as we neared the bay we passed this field where I estimated some 10,000 sheep were out grazing. What you see here is just one small frame from a 180-degree panoramic view.

As it turns out, these are pretty special sheep, known as agneau de pré-salé (salt meadow lamb). Their meat has a very distinctive flavor and tenderness, which we were able to sample at our dinner on the Mont.

"We used Granville as our hub to explore the Normandy area in France. We rented a car and stayed at Hotel des Bains for five nights. The room was clean and comfortable. We had our adult son along so we book the "Superior Family Room side sea view" which was excellent. Our son had his own area with a privacy curtain. Our balcony looked over the sea. We had a great stay."

"This was a very convenient location. Parking lot was large and free, and there is a path through a farm you can walk directly down to Mont Saint Michel (allow 25-30 minutes) so you can avoid paying for parking at other parking lot for bus. Front desk personnel were also very polite and helpful. Property was very nice and very clean and comfortable. Had a great AC. And while we didn’t eat at the restaurant downstairs, I heard good things. Would recommend."
