Just the fact that it's still standing and in active use is astounding

What amazes me the most when I look at a place like Mont-Saint-Michel is that while this was being built, other magnificent cathedrals were being built all over France and most of these sites took several hundred years to complete. The fact that there were so many places being built at the same time leads me to wonder where did all the construction expertise come from to allow the breadth of all these projects almost simultaneously? I have visited: Notre Dame, Amiens, Rheims, Strasbourg, Rouen, St Denis and countless other magnificent gothic churches and reliquaries and the scale of construction blows me away.

I see many complaints about the music being too loud. Interestingly, just yesterday I changed the sound setting on my YouTube by switching on "Voice Boost" (See "Settings" on the bottom right of the video). This has reduced the volume of the music track, and made this documentary just prefect for me in terms of audio balance.

My Great Grandfather was stationed here during WWI. I have his rifle and other family members have photos of the fortress. His platoon. And some other photos.
