One of my favorite French scenes - sheep grazing on the salt-marshes near Mont Saint-Michel. A few sheep wouldn't have been a big deal, but as we neared the bay we passed this field where I estimated some 10,000 sheep were out grazing. What you see here is just one small frame from a 180-degree panoramic view.

As it turns out, these are pretty special sheep, known as agneau de pré-salé (salt meadow lamb). Their meat has a very distinctive flavor and tenderness, which we were able to sample at our dinner on the Mont.
