For some time I was waiting to make this visit to one of the most visited places in France.
They had seen it thousands of times in photographs and it had always seemed like a fantastic place.
When you see it, you realize how you thought it was unique, a magical place that has well-deserved fame.
This small mountain located in the Region of Normandy takes its name from the rocky island dedicated to Saint Michael where the Mont Saint Michel Abbey stands out as a place of pilgrimage.
At the foot of the Abbey a small town was built with beautiful houses mostly made of wood and used to house pilgrims.
There you can see the largest tides in Europe, so when you make the visit you should see the calendar and time of the tides. To be able to observe that phenomenon that I advise you not to miss you must be two hours before.
So impressive is the visit to the island and its abbey as to witness this spectacle of nature that I have only seen there.
Strong tides that, like the gallop of the horse, gain ground to the mainland, surrounding the entire island with water in just over an hour. You know you'll have to wait for the tide to come down before you can leave the island.
An incredible experience that I will repeat since it is a place that once you have visited, it hooks you to come back.
