About this audio guide
This guide to the tiny terraced cemetery beside the parish church on Mont-Saint-Michel follows Henri-Georges Adam, a Paris jeweller's son who learned to engrave at his father's bench and went on to make sculpture and tapestry for public squares, embassies and UNESCO. It touches the Resistance, a landmark in Le Havre and his stubborn rule about black and white. Best heard on the terraces with the bay in view over the wall.
