Mont Saint-Michel is a tiny Island off the Normandy coast, but it feels like something out of a fairy tale. This tiny island is home to a beautiful abbey that seems to float above the sea, especially during high tide when the waters surround it completely.
The streets are steep, narrow and winding, but the view from the abbey is breathtaking, offering a panorama of the surrounding bay.
The history dates back to the 8th century, and over the years the abbey has grown into a massive cathedral. It has survived wars and sieges. During the French revolution, it was even converted into a prision.
At high tide, Mont Saint-Michel becomes an island fortress, making it a truly magical and historically significant destination to explore.
Always nice to see images from this place.
It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to.
