Product Info
Mont Saint-Michel is located on the tidal flats of the Bay of Saint-Malo in Normandy, northwestern France, about 350 kilometers from Paris, with a round-trip travel time of 14 hours. In terms of volume, it is just a small hill, less than 1 kilometer in diameter at the base and only 76 meters high. However, an abbey more than twice its height was built on the summit, and with no high-rise buildings around, it is visually striking. Nature has gifted it with the most spectacular tides in the world. At high tide, seawater rushes in from 18 kilometers away, with a tidal range of up to 15 meters, surrounding the hill into an isolated island, where the water and sky merge over the endless tidal flats. The spectacle of 'an island at high tide, a hill at low tide' is known as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.'
Even with the spectacle of the tides, the charm of Mont Saint-Michel alone would not attract tourists from all over the world; it is the abbey on the summit that makes it the third-largest Catholic pilgrimage site in the world, after Jerusalem and the Vatican.
