The No.1 place I wanted to go since middle school. Mont Saint Michel. The first time I found this place was by learning French in middle school. From that moment I wanted to go to this beautiful island.
中学校でフランス語を初めてからずっと行きたかった場所。モンサンミッシェル。この素晴らしい島にいける時がきました！
行き方はいくつかあるみたいですが私たちはMonparnasse駅からRennes駅という所へ電車で行き、そこからバスに乗り換えました。Rennes駅からバスはちなみにちょっと離れているのでご注意を。わからなくなったらMont Saint Michel行きを言えば教えてくれます。私たちが行った時は駅の改装中で2019年までに駅ビルとかを作って大きくするみたい。
Theres few ways of going here from Paris but we took the train from Monparnasse to Rennes. From Rennes you have to go to the bus station that is a few minute walk from the train station.
If you get lost, ask the people around you and they will tell you :) When we went, the Rennes station was having this big construction thats going to last until 2019.
そしてバスに乗ること50分。近くの場所でおろされます。そっからはこの下の無料シャトルバスにのって島までいきます。景観を崩さないように木製になっているのもおもしろい。
After riding the bus for 50 minutes you go off at a station where you change to a free shuttle bus. The buses are painted like a wood-like color so that it wouldn't be in the way of the scenery.
そして橋を渡っていくと…みえてきた！And are you ride the bus...you see the castle!!!
どーん。すごいきれい！The clouds are nice, and its so huge!
一人ではしゃぐ。I was running around like crazy. lol
All the stores were in narrow streets and it was nice just looking at them. 小さいお店が狭い路地に並んでいてとっても素敵。お店の看板とかもアンティーク。
お店に並んでいるグッズ。最近お土産は本当に欲しいと思ったものしか買わない主義なのでマグネットだけ購入。The goods in the store. These days I don't buy souvenirs unless I really like it so looked around and bought the magnet which I'm collecting.
We decided to stay inside the island so that we could take the night photos. The hotel was decent and clean. From the window we were able to see the ocean.どうしても夜の夜景が撮りたかったので島内に宿泊。この窓も格子がついていて眺めがよかった。
そこからお昼へ。島内はあんまり有名なお店はないんだけど…。とりあえず腹ごしらえ。We went out for lunch. We heard that theres not that many good restaurants inside the island...but...oh well.
有名なシードルで乾杯。Cheers with Cidre!
He ordered the pasta vongole. I ordered 3 petit course menu.彼はボンゴレを頼んで私はチーズOKなのでプチ3コースメニューを。
お料理はまずまずといったところかな。The food was so-so. You might not want to order the pasta though. :(
そのあとは外をぷらぷら。こういう可愛いデコレーションも好き。After lunch we walked around the town. I like these cute decorations.
鳥が飛んでいたりと優雅。The birds were flying over the blue sky and it was just great.
そして夕日！And comes the sunset!
逆光だったけどこれもこれできれい。It was backlight but still was nice view.
The castle was light up and it was reflecting onto the water. お城がライトアップした後に水面に反射するのが美しすぎました。
完全に辺りが暗くなってもまだうっすら地平線には太陽の光が。これも幻想的で綺麗だったなー。After it was all dark, the last bit of sunlight was peeking from the distance and it was like a fantasy world.
一生に一度はいく価値がある場所でした。It was worth going for once in your lifetime.
Tot ziens :)
