It is truly an awesome place. I tried to get into the abbey at the top of the staircase, but it was closed. Nonetheless it is a marvel of engineering, imagination, and beauty.<\/p>\n<p>As we biked away from Mont-Saint Michel toward the city of Granville, Mont-Saint Michel was often visible, even miles from it because it is set on an island in the midst of mostly flat land.<\/p>\n<p>The ride today was pleasant\u2014mostly on secondary, quiet roads. The tour leaders, or whoever planned this ride, did a really good job of finding quiet roads.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout Europe there are magnificent churches. Today we saw such a church in Avranches at our morning snack site. It must have taken years, thousands of dollars, and significant work from poorly paid laborers to build it. As I marveled at it, I wondered if construction of such magnificent churches contributed to the French Revolution. Wikipedia confirms my hunch. See the causes of it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/search?qs=AS&amp;pq=causes+of+the+Fren&amp;sk=CSYN1&amp;sc=15-18&amp;pglt=297&amp;q=causes+of+the+french+revolution&amp;cvid=56fc2dd276bf483db96ac82f8b7a67e2&amp;gs_lcrp=EgRlZGdlKgcIABAAGPkHMgcIABAAGPkHMgYIARBFGDkyBggCEAAYQDIGCAMQABhAMgYIBBAAGEAyBggFEAAYQDIGCAYQABhAMgYIBxAAGEAyBggIEAAYQNIBCDY4MDVqMGo3qAIAsAIA&amp;FORM=ANSPA1&amp;PC=W230\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of my more memorable takeaways from today was not the nice roads or scenery. It was the smell of jasmine plants. They were everywhere and I often could smell them before I came across big bushes of them.
