Mont Saint-Michel is a small rocky island located in Normandy, France, approximately one kilometer off the country's northwestern coast. Known for its dramatic medieval architecture, the island is topped by a stunning abbey, the Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel, which has been a place of pilgrimage since the 8th century. The island is famous for its picturesque views, particularly when the tide comes in, surrounding the island and cutting it off from the mainland, and when the tide recedes, revealing vast mudflats.

The abbey, with its Gothic spires and fortifications, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of France's most iconic landmarks. It has been a symbol of French history, culture, and religion, and today, Mont Saint-Michel is one of the most visited tourist destinations in France. The island also houses a small village, with narrow winding streets and traditional stone buildings, all set against the backdrop of the dramatic landscape.

The tidal variations around Mont Saint-Michel are among the highest in Europe, with water levels changing dramatically, making it a unique and awe-inspiring place to visit.
