Mont Saint-Michel

The Wonder of the West…

One thousand three hundred years of history, faith, courage and talent ...

Men have shaped the Wonder of the West…

In the year 709 the Archangel Saint-Michael appeared to Bishop Aubert and ordered him to build a sanctuary on the Mont Tombe, rocky island in the middle of an immense bay battered by the highest tides in the world.

The Mont-Saint-Michel is born.
Alternately monastery, cultural and spiritual center of Christianity, pilgrimage and devotion, citadel and prison, the Mont-Saint-Michel is a part of the history of France.
Wonder of the West, Pyramid of the seas ... one of the names given to the Mont-Saint-Michel since the Middle Ages.
