Curious Mont Saint-Michel & Rennes, France
Season 8
Episode 805
We visit the UNESCO site of magical Mont Saint-Michel: The historic abbey on top of a mountain on top of an island, whose tides recede so much that pilgrims walk across the sand to reach it. Then we visit Rennes, the capital of Brittany, to explore its fairytale half-timbered houses, its historic convent, & the history of the French carousel & how two brothers are preserving the unique art form.
