Mont Saint Michel Abbey

50170 Mont Saint-Michel, France

One of France’s most-visited historic sites, Mont Saint Michel Abbey crowns Le Mont-Saint-Michel, a tiny town/island just a few hundred meters off the French coast.  During low tide, the island becomes surrounded by vast stretches of sand and mud, passable via a single raised causeway.  This natural defence system meant that, historically, attackers had virtually no chance of conquering it.  Following the French Revolution, the Abbey was turned into a prison, but, by 1874, it had been declared a historic monument.  Today, visitors can visit this incredible French icon by purchasing tickets.
