Very much described, portrayed and even sung, but it is and remains an unparalleled miracle.
The Mont Saint-Michel is a small, rocky tidal island in France located in a large bay at the mouth of the Couesnon. The granite massif of Mont Saint-Michel has been crowned with a medieval abbey. Since 1898, the steeple of the abbey church has a statue of Saint Michael that rises a hundred and seventy meters above the bay. The island is located about 1 km off the coast at the place Avranches in Normandy. It was originally a tidal island: it was accessible by land at low tide, but at high tide it was surrounded by water. Today a narrow bridge runs to the island. The Mont Saint-Michel, with its pedestrian streets, is only accessible to pedestrians.
