Surging from an infinite expanse of sand and waves, Mont-Saint-Michel appears as man's attempt to challenge the elements and time. In 1979, Mont-Saint-Michel was the first location in France to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The high point of medieval architecture from the Middle Ages and constructed on a rock pinnacle, the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel is the most commanding view point from which to discover the bay.
Founded, according to legend, after the appearance of the archangel Saint Michael, the monastery grew from the 10th to the 15th century on several floors around the abbey church. All the rooms related to monastic life are stacked above one another around the top of the rock and are evocative of one of Christianity's most important pilgrimage places.
