Mont Saint-Michel - The 'Harry Potter' world that still exist on earth
Did you watched Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Do you think those castle in the movie is just fantasy. If you thought so, then you are not seeing the world enough.
Welcome to Mont Saint-Michel. If you are traveling to France, this is a must visit destination. Eifel Tower in Paris will wow you but Mont Saint-Michel in Pontorson will leave you everlasting memory.
This is also listed as UNESCO World Heritage site.

How to get there
It's very costly to travel there but it's definitely worth the adventure.
1. By SNCF train or TGV or other trains. Stop at Pontorson train station. This is the nearest station to Mont Saint-Michel, which the station is just 15 minutes away. When you reach Pontorson train station, you can take a local bus there. Highly recommended as you can enjoy the amazing view from the train and the serene Pontorson town.

Food in Mont Saint-Michel
Surprisingly, despite you are trapped in this castle and if you want to eat, you pay what they charged you scenario, the price is relatively cheap. It's definitely better than Paris. For the same amount of Euros you spend in a normal restaurant in downtown Paris, you can a full course meal here.
Experience the truly full course meal culture in France. What this means? It means, appetizer first, main course and dessert. They won't serve you main course, if you haven't finish appetizer, and they won't serve you dessert if you haven't finish your main course.
Total time we took for this meal, 3 hours! Lol.
