Mont Saint-Michel

Recently, the Mont-Saint-Michel made its entrance on Second Life. Fruit of the work of a « connoisseur » in building, this new place, full of poetry, invites us in the rest and relaxation through the sinuous lanes of this Unesco Word Heritage monument.
Real place of ressourcement, in a musical atmosphere convenient to the rest, the Mont-Saint-Michel sets us the tone from the arrival at the island. Quite as in the reality, you will have "to cross" a maritime space before seing this world made of granite.
Then, it will be necessary to you to climb this hillock through lanes full of shops but without ever finding the famous restaurant " La Mère Poularde " and its omelets internationally known. We shall regret however two things:
- The narrowness of the streets which complicate a little the traffic. - The presence of "light" shops which break a little the «ambiance » (maybe it would have been necessary to privilege the numerous "artisans" of Second Life ?).
And finally the sacrosanct, the abbey of the Mont-Saint-Michel ! If no monk comes to our meeting (what a pity), each can be allowed to discover the small lanes which surround the place of prayer. At the bend of lanes, houses open you their doors and invite you to sit down some moment in an atmosphere perhaps too medieval but nevertheless pleasant. Then with the sounds of the organs, the hour came to enter this place of prayer...
Luminous stained glasses, high vault, granite walls ..... everything is there ...... even a door of the Baptistry of Florence (error of the designer?)... Welcome to the Mont-Saint-Michel.
From there, by taking a little of height, you will appreciate the architectural set which « confers » to this address " Second Life " all the references and useful marks so that each (French and foreign) can recognize immediately this mythical and magic place. You just have now to find the cloister ....
