‘Elaine and Rene Mendonca hold an issue of the Sunny Isles Beach Sun in front of Le Mont St. Michel. St. Michel is a rocky tidal island in Normandy, France located approximately one kilometer off the north coast at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches.
According to Wikipedia, “Le Mont-Saint-Michel was used in the sixth and seventh centuries as an Armorican stronghold of Romano-Breton culture and power, until it was ransacked by the Franks, thus ending the trans-channel culture that had stood since the departure of the Romans in AD 460.” In those times the island was connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which was under water at high tide and revealed at low tide. Presently the island has only 50 inhabitants.
You too can appear in an issue of the paper. When you travel, take a copy of the Sunny Isles Beach Sun newspaper with you, pose with the paper in front of a landmark or with your group. Send the photo with the highlights of your trip to the address below. If you would like your original photograph returned, include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your correspondence.
