Saut Gaultier Panorama, Mont Saint-Michel, France — From this terrace on the abbey walls, named for a prisoner who leaped to his death here rather than remain imprisoned, the view encompasses the entire bay with the Normandy and Brittany coasts visible in the distance. On clear days the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel appears to float above the sea, disconnected from the earth below.
