Mont-Saint-Michel is a breathtaking tidal island in Normandy, France, famous for its gravity-defying abbey and medieval village. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 and is one of France’s most visited landmarks outside of Paris.
History & Architecture
- The island was originally called Mont-Tombe, but in the 8th century, Bishop Aubert of Avranches claimed that the Archangel Michael instructed him to build a church there.
- A Benedictine abbey was established in 966, and over the centuries, magnificent monastic buildings were added.
- The abbey features a Romanesque nave and a Flamboyant Gothic choir, built between 1450 and 1521.
- - During the Hundred Years’ War, Mont-Saint-Michel remained unconquered, thanks to its natural defenses.
- Under Louis XI, it was turned into a prison, a role it maintained until 1863.
Geography & Tides
- The island is surrounded by vast sandbanks and becomes completely cut off from the mainland during high tides.
- The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel experiences the highest tides in continental Europe, making it a mesmerizing sight.
- A causeway was built to connect the island to the mainland, but it has led to rising sandbanks.
Visiting Mont-Saint-Michel
- The best times to visit are autumn and winter, as summers can be crowded.
- Arriving early in the morning or late in the evening allows for a quieter experience.
- Exploring the medieval streets, abbey, and ramparts offers a glimpse into centuries
- of history.
- For a unique perspective, visitors can cross the bay with a guide, experiencing the tides firsthand.

Some Filipinos use their muscle, heart and mind to achieve excellent performance without thinking of the monetary reward or public cognizance. They are widely wanted because they are hard workers.
