- The Mont Saint-Michel Abbey became the first stop of our two-weeks long trip along the west coast of France this summer.
It was our second visit of the Abbey - and even when we knew what to expect, we still were awed by how impressive it was.
And, as usual, quoting Wikipedia:
Le Mont-Saint-Michel is a tidal island and mainland commune in Normandy, France. As of 2017, the island has a population of 30.
The commune's position-on an island just a few hundred metres from land-made it accessible at low tide to the many pilgrims to its abbey, but defensible as an incoming tide stranded, drove off, or drowned would-be assailants. The island remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War; a small garrison fended off a full attack by the English in 1433. Louis XI recognised the reverse benefits of its natural defence and turned it into a prison. The abbey was used regularly as a prison during the Ancien Régime.
Mont Saint-Michel and its bay are on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. It is visited by more than 3 million people each year. Over 60 buildings within the commune are protected in France as monuments historiques.
