Mont Saint-Michel

Mont Saint-Michel is a stunning World Heritage Site located in the commune of Beauvoir in France about 1km off the country’s northwestern coast. It is a monastery built on its own little island, surrounded by the sea’s tides during high and low tides. In the Middle Ages, the mount was one of the greatest pilgrimage destinations in Europe. Today it still holds a spiritual fascination among visitors, many of whom come to experience its unique atmosphere and stunning views. It is also a major tourist destination, as visitors can wander through cobblestone lanes lined with ancient, half-timbered houses, discover a UNESCO museum inside the Abbey, and explore the commune's history at the Archaeology Museum. Whether tourists come to explore the ancient abbeys and religious artifacts, take in the stunning views afforded by its location, or simply relax and take in the historic beauty of the place, a visit to Mont Saint-Michel can be an unforgettable experience.
