    Apologies for my mispronunciation of Archangel, as it is properly pronounced "Ark-angel". Hope you enjoy the Abbey, and be sure to check out my video on Mont Saint-Michel itself with some history and night walk: czcams.com/video/P5NASyRh_O4/video.html

    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.

      Hi there! Great question as it is a big place. There were guided tours available to book, but we just went through on our own. As we went along, they had hallways roped off so we could only go in one direction. We also saw no guides or staff along the way. Just a handful of tourists. We entered the Abbey as soon as it opened in the morning. I image it would be much busier mid-day. So no worry about getting lost. 😀 Take care and enjoy your weekend 👍
