This is a great cruise ship excursion on the west coast of France. Or, it's a few hour car ride from Paris, but entirely worth the visit.
Mont Saint-Michel is a stunning island commune in France, known for its medieval abbey atop rocky cliffs. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is a popular tourist destination. The construction of the Mont Saint Michael represents the feudal hierarchy practiced at the time. God is, of course, on top and after that comes the abbey and the monastery. The great halls are constructed below this and then comes the stores and the housing and at the bottom nearly outside the walls are situated the fisherman's and farmers’ housing.
Mont Saint Michel is well known for being a tourist destination but it is also a very important pilgrimage site. From the 10th century, many pilgrims came to the abbey passing perilous routes and the sands covering the bay in low tide. Without the bridge interconnecting the mainland and the island, it was a risky adventure to cross the bay as there were also a lot of quicksand deposits in the area.
