法國著名聖山 -
聖米歇爾山大教堂
（ Le Mont Saint Michel Abbey ）
位於法國西北部諾曼第
的聖馬洛海灣上。
海灘長達15公里
連著大西洋東岸海域.
傳說Avranches 區主教
St. Aubert 三度夢見天使St. Michel
指示其建造一座大教堂
(根據新約聖經啟示錄敘述
St. Michel 曾打敗象徵魔鬼的惡龍）
對於信徒而言，
他是最後審判之日
為死者帶路且判決靈魂的天使。
主教於公元708年
年開始動工建設。
建築師依據金字塔的山形
圍繞花崗岩石山向上建造。
之後又興建修道院，
直到13 世紀的哥德式建築
構成兩棟三層樓房
結合大教堂。
於18 世紀完成南面建築，
整體工程歷經數百年。
走在760 米長的人行天橋，
濛濛細雨中的典雅山城愈來愈近⋯
沿著綠意盎然的山坡向上攀登。
蜿蜒的山間小道，
人潮洶湧熱鬧非凡。
踏入莊嚴的大教堂，
一眼望見天使聖米歇爾
展翅英姿震撼人心的雕像。
典雅風格的教堂前面
有寬廣的平台可俯望海灣，
岩石與遠方的群島。
正廳走向修道院的祈禱處，
每逢宗教慶典都在此舉行咏唱活動。
往大廳的通道
是過去修士室內的散步間。
繼續向前則是修士研修的廳堂。
聖米歇爾山大教堂
是建築師精心規劃
風格獨特的修道院。
修士在專屬空間祈禱與靈修
不受民眾參訪干擾。
周圍環境潮汐現象 -
傍晚後整座山猶如飄浮在雲海間,
海天一色，
如詩如畫...
Le Mont Saint Michel Abbey
Is one of the most stunning sights
in France.
Located in northwestern of France, Normandy,
gulf of St. Malo.
The beach up to 15 kilometers,
connected Atlantic east coast.
People say that
St. Aubert - Bishop of Avranches,
he dreamed of angel St. Michel three times,
instructed him to build abbey.
（ According to revelation of the
New Testament, angel St. Michel once defeated the symbolic demon dragon ）
For believers, St. Michel was the angel led the way
for the dead and judge the soul at the day of the
last judgment.
Construction began in 708 AD.
Architect based to the shape of the pyramid
of the mountain
built upwards around the granite rock mountain.
And then monastery built afterwards.
Until thirteenth century,
Gothic architecture formed two three-story buildings combined with the abbey.
Complete the southern building
in the eighteenth century,
the overall project has gone through hundreds of years.
Walked on the 760-meter-long pedestrian bridge,
the elegant mountain city in the drizzle was
getting closer...
Climbed up along the green hillside.
The crowds were surging and lively in winding mountain trails.
Stepped into a stately abbey,
caught sight of a stunning statue of
angel Saint Michel with wings spread out.
In front of the elegant abbey there
was a wide platform overlooking the bay,
rocks and Islands in the distance.
From the main hall went to prayer place
of monastery -
singing activities were held here every
religious celebration.
The passage to the hall was the promenade in the monk's room. Keep going...
It was the hall for monks training.
Mont Saint Michel was carefully planned
by the architect.
Unique abbey.
Monks could pray and practiced their spirituality
in the exclusive space.
Not disturbed by public visits.
Tidal phenomenon,
after the evening the whole mountain was
like floating in the sea.
The sea and the sky merged together,
like the most poetic drawing...
