Curiosities and History of Mont Saint-Michel
Although today it is known as one of the most visited monuments in France, Mont Saint-Michel has a long and fascinating history. In fact, its history dates back to the 8th century when, according to tradition, the archangel St. Michael appeared in a dream to the bishop of Avranches and ordered the construction of a chapel on top of the hill.
Over the centuries, the small chapel gave way to a grand Benedictine abbey, which, throughout the Middle Ages, became one of Europe’s main pilgrimage centers. Therefore, visiting Mont Saint-Michel is much more than just seeing a beautiful place – it’s a true immersion in French medieval spirituality and architecture.
In addition, the hill’s strategic position – surrounded by extremely fast and powerful tides – made it almost inaccessible for centuries. This natural isolation is precisely what protected it during wars and invasions, including the Hundred Years’ War.
On the other hand, Mont Saint-Michel has also undergone transformations. During the French Revolution, for example, it was used as a prison, losing its religious function for a time. However, in the 19th century, thanks to a strong national campaign, the abbey was restored and returned to its original purpose.
Today, Mont Saint-Michel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even with the advance of modernity, it retains a mystical aura that attracts millions of visitors every year. And although the tides are no longer a barrier, they remain a natural spectacle in their own right – rising and falling with impressive force several times a day.
If you like history, nature, architecture and remarkable experiences, Mont Saint-Michel is a destination that undoubtedly deserves to be on your tour of France.
