Mont-Saint-Michel"Gestern war ich auf dem Mont Saint Michel.

"Gestern war ich auf dem Mont-Saint-Michel. Hier müsste man die Superlative der Bewunderung auftürmen, so wie der Mensch die Bauwerke auf die Felsen und die Natur die Felsen auf die Bauwerke getürmt hat", schrieb Victor Hugo 1836 nach einem Besuch der wohl berühmtesten Abtei der Welt in einer Mischung aus Entzücken und Entsetzen. Vor 1000 Jahren wurde der Grundstein für dieses einzigartige architektonische Ensemble auf einer Insel zwischen Normandie und Bretagne gelegt. Es begann als frühromanische Kirche, wurde im Laufe der Jahrhunderte immer mehr erweitert, erwies sich als strategisch wichtiges und nie eingenommenes Bollwerk gegen Wikinger und Normannen und wurde zum Pilgerort für Gläubige aus ganz Europa. Die Französische Revolution machte aus dem Kloster ein gefürchtetes Gefängnis, und erst Victor Hugo setzte sich für die Wiederherstellung des Mont-Saint-Michel ein. Mit Erfolg und den entsprechenden Konsequenzen für den Tourismus: 1874 wurde er zum monument historique erklärt, Viollet-le-Duc restaurierte die Abteigebäude mitsamt der Ortschaft und den Befestigungsanlagen. Und gute 100 Jahre später, 1979, wurde die Insel zum Unesco-Weltkulturerbe, das jährlich 3,5 Millionen Besucher anzieht. Zur Tausendjahrfeier hat Elger Esser (geb. 1967), einer der namhaften Vertreter der Düsseldorfer Becher-Schule, den Mont-Saint-Michel und die umgebende Meerlandschaft zu allen Jahreszeiten und Meeresständen photographiert und in atemberaubend schöne Farb- und Schwarzweiß-Aufnahmen gegossen. Der Auftraggeber dieses Projekts war das französische Centre des Monuments Nationaux. Das Buch mit den schönsten Aufnahmen erscheint bei Schirmer/Mosel zum großen Jubiläum und begleitet eine Ausstellung der Photographien vor Ort vom 1. April bis 15. Juni 2024.

PRICEY and sometimes don’t stay in place!
These have a wonderful mild flavor, no mint burn, moisten your mouth for several hours, and generally always stay put, in fact if you want it out before fully dissolved, it takes a little effort with your fingernail, because they are supposed to stick and stay in place! ALSO, I DO NOT PUT ON MY GUMLINE LIKE THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY, I STICK ON THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH FOR DISCREET CONFORT!! I really do recommend for DRY MOUTH!! I DO NOT CARE FOR THE SHARP EDGY METAL INDIVIDUAL PACKAGING AT ALL, but the bottle is very pricey!!

Absolutely work!
These are absolutely fantastic. Bygone are the days of sucking on some sugary sweet Candy. Xylo melts stick as they say they do. I have found that they don't stick to artificial teeth as well. They last for hours they're comfortable. The mint ones aren't overpowering. These are a dry mouth blessing. For sure use them at night and during the day.

Invaluable sleep/ dry mouth aid
Cannot live even one night without these Xylimelts. Taste great. Stick well to mouth. Remember: poisonous to dogs. Now we have a dog so I no longer buy the bottles of loose melts as I can spill in middle of night and lose track. Extremely nerve wracking. Using the sheets of melts which you punch out one at a time. Easier to insure dog’s safety.

They may have saved my life!
These are fantastic for people with dry mouth! They have been a lifesaver for me. I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone! I carry them in my bag as well. Thanks to the one who invented them. I feel normal again!!! Easy to pop in mouth and they last overnight too.

Wow!!!
Size: 80 ea
XyliMelts were recommended by my new dental hygienist who said she was told about them at a dental conference by a well known hygienist "guru". I ordered them at around four in the morning because I was up as usual because if my chronic pain syndrome and the dry mouth caused by my pain pills. I got them quickly via Amazon and have not been up again this time of night due to the dry mouth. Now I'm up due to the pain but can fall asleep quickly because of the XyliMelts, they work great! I only use one at a time and it lasts around four hours and I put in another one and go right back to sleep. It's so easy to push the little tab out of the cellophane and just hold it on my gum for ten seconds and voila! No more dry mouth. I used to wake up with my mouth so dry there was no saliva at all in my mouth and parched was an understatement, my mouth felt like sandpaper! Now it's always nice and moist and the taste is extremely pleasant (I didn't get the mint). I had to have two teeth extracted four days before Christmas and my dentist said it was due to the dry mouth and that he sees patterns like this in patients with dry mouth and I'd probably lose more teeth unless I came in for cleanings and check ups three times a year instead of two and we kept a really close eye on my teeth. I'd been using Biotene gel but it wasn't keeping my mouth moist long enough. I'm extremely happy with XyliMelt! I'm also 100% sure I won't be losing any more teeth due to my night time dry mouth because it's a thing of the past! Thanks to amazon prime shipping I got my XyliMelts very quickly, and my nighttime dry mouth is a thing of the past! I know they don't claim to stop cavities but without the dry mouth and my new commitment to see my dentist three times a year and to always always brush my teeth before I fall asleep (no more Rolos in bed after I've done my final teeth brushing), I'm confident my dentist won't see a tooth loss pattern in my mouth.
