A cool wind off the bay brushes past the spires of Mont Saint-Michel as visitors step through the island's narrow lanes. Stone walls lean inward, alleys pinch to staircases and viewpoints open to a wide, shifting sea — the tidal flats that made this place defensible for centuries.

Mont Saint-Michel grew around an 8th-century sanctuary and became a major medieval pilgrimage site and fortress, later protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Conservation
Visitor numbers and the delicate tidal flats require managed access; stick to marked paths and avoid walking out onto soft sand without a licensed guide.
