THE HILLSIDE ,

a sloping pathway leads right through a small thicket, up past the outskirts of the little town and into the hills surrounding st. michel.

recognized as a rather idyllic, sleepy countryside, the hillside of st. michel is home to a number of older residents and the occasional picnicker. a dozen or so cottages are nestled up against the hills, quiet and peaceful in every respect.

even a small town like st. michel can get to be a little much at times. the hillside often proves a nice little escape when a jaunt to paris is just too overwhelming.
