The Island Abbey

Le Mont-Saint-Michel is an island located off the coast of Normandy, France. It is famously known for its stunning abbey, which is situated atop the island. The abbey dates back to the 8th century and has undergone many expansions over the years. The island itself is surrounded by quicksand and can only be accessed by a causeway. The architecture of the abbey is a stunning example of the Romanesque style, and the views from the top are breathtaking. The entirety of the island has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for good reason. It is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Western Europe.
