The wedding of supermodel He Mengyao and businessman Ha Yujun held in the Normandie region, France, is attracting great attention from international media.
Besides the lavish scale of the auspicious event, the location chosen by the couple to hold the wedding ceremony - the ancient Monastery of Mont-Saint-Michel - also quickly became the focus of attention for travel enthusiasts.
Ms. Luong An Ky, mother-in-law of the former Victoria's Secret angel, recently shared photos of her experience at this place.
In a white dress, the businesswoman took souvenir photos at the ancient balconies and campus of the monastery, bringing a closer perspective on the world-famous heritage destination.
Mont-Saint-Michel is a unique architectural complex located on a small rocky island in Saint-Malo Bay, northwestern France. This place has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1979 thanks to its long history and special construction structure.
The most impressive point of this complex is the change of landscape according to the tide, when the water rises, it will surround the entire island, creating the image of a secluded castle in the ocean. When the tide recedes, a natural sand road will be revealed connecting the island with the mainland.
The monastery was started in the 8th century and went through many stages of completion lasting hundreds of years. The work bears a strong imprint of medieval Gothic architecture with solid stone walls, sharp arches facing high and a system of winding slopes around.
The space inside the monastery preserves the solemn and contemplative atmosphere of a holy land with a history of over 1,000 years.
For international tourists, Mont-Saint-Michel is one of the top attractions when coming to France. Visitors here often choose the sunset time to admire the panoramic view of Saint-Malo Bay from the top of the tower, or follow the tidal calendar to witness the phenomenon of seawater surrounding the foot of the island.
In addition, the steep walkway leading to the monastery also has many small restaurants serving traditional local dishes such as characteristic egg rolls or Normandy-style apple wine.
The wedding of the couple He Mengyao - He Youjun has contributed to strongly promoting the image of this medieval architectural work to Asian tourists.
