Mont Saint-Michel, Bretagne |
Here's a great way to start a week trip to Bretagne, northern France, where the Mont Saint-Michel is... Saw these "Roches des Fées" (Fairy Rocks) in the Guide Michelin not far from where our TGV-train ride was finishing... in Rennes. |
This is a view of the pile...
Micheline walking inside... Gives you an idea of the size of these rocks...
The legend also talks about young couples coming here to have their union blessed by these stones. Each one would walk in opposite direction around the formation counting the stones... When they met, they would tell each other the number they counted. If it was the same number, they would have a happy life together, with up to 2 different, the relationship would have some bumpy phases but it was blessed, but over 2, the relationship was questionable and it was better to think twice before sealing the union.
I didn't count the stones... I simply bathed in the energy and possibly was blessed with more love with ALL... Always remaining open to meet someone too!!
The stones were surrounded with trees, one of them, a beautiful centennial oak tree for sure, and old chestnut trees too.
You can see the positioning of the HUGE rocks, sitting of a tiny contact point...
Hard to believe that they've been sitting here like this for some 6,000 years!
Apparently, at some time, they were covered with dirt and branches and created a covered shelter where the dead were "buried".
And here is a time travel photo... with modern "speed limit sign" and some 6,000 yrs old rocks behind!!
