I never thought a place like this actually existed it’s like a fairytale

Crazy to imagine that humans built that hundreds of years ago. Just unbelievable

I went on a high school trip to France in the 70's, this place was one that still stands out in my mind.

Somebody put that angel on top of that spire..... think about that for a second. That’s F....ing insane!

It's funny isn't it, that with all the weatlh and knowledge we have today, we make buildings and cities that looks like ugly rectangular blocks of concrete or glass, that have to be demolished in half a centry, while some hundred, or a thousand years ago, you built things that lasted (with mantenience of course) and that were incredibly beautiful.

Vive la France 🇨🇵

I've been to Mont Saint-Michel several times as a kid and I can just tell you: this place is just unreal. My mind was blown every single time. That said, it is some of the technically less intricate monuments I've seen in France. I can just recommend you to visit the cathedrals of Chartres, Reims, Amiens, Beauvais and Metz. These experiences have changed my life forever. If you have been to northern France and didn't come back being in awe of what people in the middle ages accomplished, something is utterly wrong with you.

Exceptionnel… après tant d'années à le visiter et à l'admirer, je "n'arrive toujours pas à comprendre" comment les hommes ont pu construire cette merveille avec toutes ces contraintes de hauteur etc... et les moyens de l'époque.... La "verticalité" est sans doute l'un des Maître mot de ce site hors normes. Pour finir j'ai le souvenir ému d'un après-midi d'hiver passé avec mes enfants dans l'une des salles qui donnait sur la baie où des bacs plein de Légos étaient à disposition des familles et où l'on pouvait laisser libre court à son imagination. C'était incroyable de jouer à ce jeu tout en ayant un regard sur cette baie merveilleuses. Nous étions perchés là-haut, hors du temps. Assis au sol avec les enfants à partager en quelque sorte ce patrimoine, quoi de plus beau ? l'avez-vous vécu aussi ?

It is like from a DREAM, and FRANCE is full of treasures just like these, FR the MOST BEAUTIFUL country in the World

Watching this makes me think “when will the dragon appear!”

I want to sleep, at least for one night of my life, behind those walls.

As a commercial drone pilot I can honestly say this is one of the best cinematic short videos that I have seen. Fantastic job!

This place is a real time machine. All the buildings just brings you back in the Medieval times. And it's epic.

Beautifully shot and edited! That spire on the top would've never been really seen before in that detail.

This is from an age that engineers and architects had the inspiration of god and they were sure that their work will last for centuries for future generations as a legacy. Sadly there aren’t anymore such passion and inspiration, now is the generation of tiktok.

I'm living an hour away from this beauty and I never get tired of it. Everytime I go to see the Mont I kinda get emotional. It's a timeless masterpiece of art.

1976 war ich mit meiner Freundin Anita in MONT SAINT MICHEL , es war etwas ganz besonderes für mich . Sehenswert !

This is what drones excel at, revealing the enchanting beauty of a magnificent holy site like this. Thank you.

25 years ago today I was lucky enough to visit this incredible place. What a joy to see this today and be able to relive the thrill I felt then and how much I was in awe of it.

Que la Normandie et son Mont Saint-Michel sont magnifiques.

The fact that until about a month back I didn't believe this place existed(I'd seen pics but thought it was a movie set of sorts) is just 🤯

I visited here when I was a grad student. It is out of time and magical. Truly Holy.

This might be the Most incredible place I've ever seen. Michael

This is truly a testament of what faith and love for beauty can create. Sadly, something almost completely lost today.

I was there in 2012. Of all the places we visited, this was my favorite. Very beautiful place.

This wasn't long enough by far. I could of watched this for an age taking in every building, roof,window, wall and street. More Drone footage please!

Im from south east asia, and this is the first place that i want to visit if ever i got the money, this place is magical!

I love how drones can capture this graceful serene image but in real life it's just this small thing going REEEEEE above your head while everyone ducks for cover.

I went there, as a child, a couple of times, and dreamed one day of living in Mont Saint Michel, as my family had moved to Belgium, from GB. I think now, I'd rather live in another part of France, with less tourists, but it is lovely to be able to revisit my dreams. Thank you.

The most breathtaking place in France. I had the opportunity to experience it. Truly amazing one!!!

I've been there 3 years ago when I was living in France. Brings up good memories. Magical place with a beautiful footage...

If you ever visit Mont Saint Michel don't go via the tourist bridge, instead park in a nearby village and then walk across the grazing fields towards it: you will experience its true majesty growing on the horizon.

We were there June 2019, when they were celebrating the 75th anniversary of D-Day. It's truly breathtaking... a different world!

The beauty and majestic figure of Mont Saint Michel is beyond description , unimaginable , immeasurable , unfathomable and invincible From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

One of the many marvels France has to offer.

Honestly one of my most favorite places on earth, very very special!

Mein lieber Schutzengel Michael! Danke an den Erfinder des Internets, danke an das Team, welches diesen Film gedreht hat und danke an die Baumeister von damals. RESPEKT !!!

Absolutely breathtaking! x

Living Proof that our Ancestors was master Builders and had very high intelligence

Even the Middle Earth doesn't have this level of epicness.

OMG, what a charming, beautiful as well as vintage place it is!!! I am astonished.

So BEAUTIFUL! This is literally a kingdom!

I have been there. It is magical, magnificent, and mind blowing

We could not recreate this even with today’s technology. This is a lost art that will never be replicated.

Wonderful Archetecture!

I visited this place last September 2019, more than the splendid beauty of this village, its the story behind how and why this was built amazed me❤️❤️❤️

Ok. I can't really say enough about this video. This is basically "a birds eye-view" of Mont St. Michel . I'm not surprised at all that you won that prize. 👏👏👏

This is a beautiful castle with wonderful views!

*KZfaq: "I brought to you a beautiful castle in Europe, from 5 years ago."*

one of the most beautiful majestic places I have ever visited!

Ah yes real life Monstad!!! May the wind be with you!

This is exactly how I pictured the town when reading All the light we cannot see. Beautiful. It's like it's been trapped in another time.

it is insane how they built that top roof and remain solid until today

Incredible, I still remember my reaction when I visited here. Breathtaking

Wow....I've always wanted to visit Mont Saint Michel. The footage via drone is breath-taking...I got chills watching it climb up to the statue of the archangel Michael.

My daughter and I stayed overnight at one of the boutique hotels. Absolutely breathtaking and sooo peaceful.

Great views of Mont Saint Michel ! Like :)

I was there in 1999. This makes me want to go back. Beautiful!

Wow! This place is just amazing! Wherever you look the architecture is phenomenal! 😮

Just got back from a trip to Mont St Michel!!! Awesome video and an excellent reminder!!

c'est juste magnifique bravo

I visited this amazing place, June 1983, after hooking up with a group of girls and their teachers, from Hodge Hill Girls school, BIRMINGHAM.

When you say France, most of the people think about the Paris city and the Eiffel tower. What many don't know is this beautiful place Mont Saint Michel Island exists in France too!

I've been twice visiting this gorgeous Le Mont St Michel .it was in the winter time and really love it. I stayed in Pontorson just near by.

I remember going there when I was like 10, great place.

Splendide cadre lumière l'archange les mouettes et tout le reste, bravo. Dominique labe.

Incredible. First time I have seen this.

Crazy to even believe thag I've been here. Was an amazing school trip!

breathtaking!!!!

C'est magnifique!😁

Hodge Hill Girls School. BIRMINGHAM. UK. “Mont San Michel”. I once visited this beautiful place, having never heard of it. I found myself at this incredible location due to a series of events that took place during the month of June, 1983. A friend and I had recently celebrated our 18th birthdays, and we booked a camping holiday near to the French, Brittany town of Cancale. The day of departure from BIRMINGHAM coach station, saw us aboard a double decker coach. We sat aloft. On the journey out of the city, a housing estate captured my interest. The estate lay to the right of the motorway, I saw a working man´s club, petrol station, small shopping precinct and a large secondary school perched on the hill overlooking the estate. I also noticed particular homes and their neat front gardens. We arrived at the camp site, located on the outskirts of Cancale. We soon discover that there was a group of school girls on an end of term cultural trip, also at the camp site. They told us they were from Hodge Hill Girls School, Hodge Hill, BIRMINGHAM. They had arrived in two mini vans, so I guess there may have been approximately 20 in their party. The girls were aged 15 and 16. Instincts kicked in, and so did the only game in town. My friend and I somehow got invited by the teachers, to accompany them all on a day trip. We must have appeared to be reasonably safe and respectable. We travelled at the very rear of one of the decrepit mini buses in a couple of spare seats. We had no idea at this point where we were heading. We supplied the teachers with Tape Cassettes, and were soon travelling through French country side listening music of the band of the day “Japan”. We eventually arrived at Mont San Michel, and we began our pilgrimage against gravity. We slowly meandered up through the cobbled streets, taking in nearly all of the gift shops, until we eventually arrived at the summit, in the company of our new friends. Lunch time came around, and we all ate in the grounds immediate to the Abbey. The views was spectacular. The company was very lovely and 1983 school girl esc. I can still visualize where we sat to eat, and with whom we sat. I sensed that something very synchronistic was taking place. The holiday ended, and my friend and I returned home. Part two of this story commenced after receiving a phone call, from one of those delightful young ladies. I would later learn that the housing estate that had caught my attention was home to most of the girls and the secondary school on the hill was their school.

I have tears in my eyes.

Isn't the tide around here just wicked fast? Anyway, this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful fortresses/churches anywhere on Earth. A place I want to see some day.

What a video! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

Merci beaucoup!!! Vielen Dank! Zweieinhalb Minuten Zeit zu Sehen, Staunen, Durchatmen. Tut sehr gut. Die Schönheit des Ortes begegnet der Schönheit der Aufnahmen. Und wir brauchen dringend Schönheit auf dieser Welt. Jeden Tag ein bisschen.

Imagine waking up to peace and quiet and that view every morning

Parabéns Rapahael perfeito som.

2:05 All I could think was how did they erect a scaffolding to install that angel on the spire!

Le Mont rising up without "wings" !

I am with you Brandon Burrell, just one night would be magic. Beautiful.

Absolutely stunning! A place I’ve been wanting to visit. The aerial view shows how majestic it is from the ground and above. Thanks for sharing!

One of the most incredible things I've ever seen. It's straight out of a Lord of The Rings scene. I'm almost expecting to see Orc's trying to crash the gates. Your drone footage is perfect.

Gorgeous! I can't wait to go some day.

how did people in the past build this amazing building??..what kind of tool and machinery they have to build this in the midle of the sea.. this is amazing

The Beautiful City of Gondor Minas Tirith!

For any LOTR nerds out there, that ladies and orcs is your real life Minas Tirith....and was used heavily in as inspiration for the concept art and set design.

So magical

This is one of the most beautiful videoes ever...its so magical!

this place is magical... and i've been there!

Lindo demais esse lugar, gostaria de conhecer!🇧🇷🛫🌎

Thank you for sharing your magical vision. It just makes me more eager to go and experience it. It's been high on my bucket list, ever since I first saw images of it. Can't wait!!!

WOW! Beautiful!

Stunning! We just came back from there!

This place is simply magical. I have been to it a couple of times and it is an inspiring place. Beautiful footage. I'd very much like to film it with my drone. It is a shame I no longer live in France. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, I remember seeing something like this a few years ago and I forgot the name of the island. I said one simple prayer to God that’d i’d see it again and here i am! Amazing

Drove up along the coast playing Lighting of the Beacons, and this was in view. Perfect moment.

Gorgeous; congratulations from France

Very nicely done! That's a spectacular bit of flying. . . Keep up the good work. . .

BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful European culture and art! Magnificent!
