Halfway up to the abbey on Mont-St-Michel is the
Eglise St-Pierre, a 15th century church dedicated to St. Peter. It is the parish church for the island and a nice stop on the climb up the mount.

Outside is a statue of
St. Joan of Arc with some interesting armor.

Inside is small but comfortable, filled with light and atmosphere.

There's not much room for other altars, but they have a nice statue of Our Lady and another of St. Michael the Archangel.

Out back of the church is a graveyard, which impressed us. Real estate is at a premium on this island so it must be very ancient or very posh. It would be a great place to rise at the end of days!
