The iconic Mont-Saint-Michel is a tidal island and mainland commune located off the coasts of Normandy and Brittany, near the Couesnon River and the town of Avranches in France.
The island of Mont-Saint-Michel once held cultural, religious, and strategic value and surrounding the base are medieval walls and towers. Rising above are the clustered buildings of the village and crowning the island is the beautiful Gothic-style Benedictine abbey, which was constructed from the 11-16th centuries CE and dedicated to the Archangel St. Michael.
