The most sorcerous place I have ever been to.

In English, I had to write a text about the best place I have ever been to, and since it has actually become pretty good, I thought you might be interested in it. So here it is:

The most sorcerous place I have ever been to is Mont St. Michel, a lofty mountain in the sea just off the French coast. Staring up at this towering abbey silhouetted against the stormy, grey sky, I remember feeling like the main protagonist in the greatest fantasy movie of all time. I cannot put my finger on it, but there is something about this mountain that makes you feel the magic in the air. I forgot about the busses full of tourists, could no longer hear the screaming toddlers. I was oblivious to the Japanese shutterbugs with their “OOOOH” and “AAAAH”. Wandering through the little streets, I decided never to go back to the other world again. Transfixed, I stood there in the back of the abbey, surrounded by whispering nuns, massive granite walls and rays of sunlight dancing on the floor and felt like I was having a religious vision around me. Awestruck by all the majesty around me, I exactly knew that this was the place I had always belonged to, the place I visited at night in my dreams when I was a little girl. Life is not worth it, I decided, until you have experienced the magic of Mont St. Michel.

And this is true!
Go there and see it!
 Seriously!
