Mont Saint‑Michel evolved as a pilgrimage site from the 8th century; the abbey’s Romanesque and Gothic architecture reflects medieval monastic power and maritime influence.
Recent projects returned the Mont’s island status by redesigning the causeway and restoring tidal flow; visitors are encouraged to stay on marked paths to protect fragile salt marshes.
