Mont Saint-Michel

It was at the castle of Nyrac that Margaret's favourite protégé, the Venerable Lefebvre de Tarpel, died at the age of 101. in the presence of his patroness to whom before expiring he declared that he had never known a woman carnally in his life however he regretfully added that in his estimation he had been guilty of a greater sin for he had neglected to lay down his life for his faith another partisan of the reform gerard roussel whom margaret had almost snatched from the stake and appointed bishop of oleron had no occasion to express any such regret his own flock speedily espoused the doctrines of the reformation but when he proceeded to moleon and tried to preach there the basques refused to listen to him and hacked the pulpit to pieces the bishop being precipitated upon the flagstones and so grievously injured that he died beside the divines who sought an asylum at nerac there were various noted men of letters foremost among whom we may class the queen's two secretaries clement marot the poet and peter le masson the translator of boccaccio's decameron this translation was undertaken at the queen's request as le masson states in his dedication to her and it has always been considered one of the most able literary works of the period with marot and le masson but in the more humble capacity of valet at the yearly wages of one hundred and ten livres there came the gay bonaventure d'espirier the author of les other writers such as jean frotte john de la haye and gabriel chapuis were also among margaret's retainers she herself had long practised the writing of verses It was in 1531, and at Alençon, that she issued her first volume of poems, the Miroir de l'âme pêcheresse, which created a great stir at the time, for when it was reissued in Paris by Augereau in 1533, the Sorbonne denounced it as unorthodox, and Margaret would have been branded as a heretic if Francis had not intervened, and ordered the rector of the Sorbonne to withdraw the decree, censuring his sister's work.

Nor did that content the king, for he caused Noel Beda, the syndic of the Faculty of Theology, to be arrested and confined in a dungeon at Mont Saint-Michel, where he perished miserably.

Margaret thus gained the day, but the annoyance she had been subjected to doubtless taught her to be prudent, for although she steadily went on writing, sixteen years elapsed before any more of her poems were published.

In the meantime, various manuscript copies, some of which are still in existence, were made of them, notably one of the poem called Des Bards d'Amour by Margaret and rechristened La Coche by her secretary, John de la Haye, when he subsequently published it in the Marguerites de la Marguerite.

And so there's a whole string of sanctuaries dedicated to St. Michael that go along the coast in Europe, for example.

So in Ireland, down to Mont Saint-Michel in France, and then going to Italy, and And it's called St. Michael's Sword.

Look it up.

It's an interesting bit of sort of legend.

As far as, like, aesthetics goes, what's the most beautiful place? I don't know.

I'm still deciding between Mont Saint-Michel.

Oh, yeah.

Mont Saint-Michel.

Or Rocamador.

Rocamador just won my heart, man.

Yeah.

But Mont Saint-Michel is, like, I mean, Disneyland.

Yeah, there was like 12 of us jumped together.

We jumped into Mont Saint-Michel.

Static line?

Yeah.

Hi everyone, welcome.

We're here at Mont Saint-Michel, a nice French abbey on a little island.

And as you can see, it's quite surrounded by the sea, the ocean, but this is one of the biggest tidal changes in Europe.

And you can see as well as I try to walk around that we are on a little causeway behind me where people try to walk around.

And I try to live a modest, simple life.

That's something that I've always tried to do.

and in the meantime enjoy the world around me as much as I can and hope to inspire you and myself as well on these trips and on these experiences as I read as I go along and as I see the world around me and the more I see the more I experience the more I feel like we can really live a good life and I think most people are already doing it we just have to dial it back a little bit and just make it as simple and easy as possible but Well, again, this is me from Mont Saint-Michel on a little trip to France that I've been making these last couple of videos, as you've seen.

And what I've really tried to do on, you know, when I travel, I try to see how we all live, you know, normal lives, normal things, and how, you know, the different places, nature there lets us live and how we try to live with it.

Well, that was called Égalité Sauvement.

And Mont Saint-Michel, which mentioned the clergy, obviously, the saint, was called Mont-Michel.

Yeah, and the revolutionaries decided to change the calendar.

1792 became year one, and the names of the month were changed, inspired by nature and the season.

It's basically a circuit race around Normandy in stage four.

And then you've got the Mont Saint-Michel.

You've got the Plumlick climb in stage four, which are just fairly horrible.

It's a continuation of the same kind of roads as the UK.

Y aparece una foto del Mont Saint-Michel.

La abadía del siglo X está sentada sobre un islote que solo es accesible durante la marea baja.

Y aparece este castillo cubierto, rodeado de otras formaciones también arquitectónicas.

Desde su costa, condicionada siempre por los vaivenes del océano, hasta las bellas ciudades asentadas a la orilla del río Sena.

Y aparecen dos fotografías, uno del claustro exento.

El recinto de meditación no está integrado en el conjunto del Mont Saint-Michel.

Tres de sus caras dan al mar.
