Rising majestically from a tidal island where Normandy and Brittany meet, Mont Saint-Michel is one of France's most striking landmarks. Crowned by a magnificent Gothic abbey dedicated to the Archangel Michael, this medieval marvel attracts millions of visitors annually, captivated by its unique silhouette and the dramatic tides that isolate it. It stands as a powerful symbol of French history, architectural ingenuity, and enduring spiritual pilgrimage. Mont Saint Michel is at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches.
