What You Might Not Know About Mont Saint Michel France's Famous Monastery

Mont-Saint-Michel is a stunning island commune located in Normandy, France, renowned for its breathtaking architecture and dramatic setting. Here are some intriguing facts you might not know about this iconic landmark
Ancient Beginnings: The rocky island where Mont-Saint-Michel now stands has been a site of strategic importance since ancient times. The Romans used it as a fortification due to its naturally defensible position and visibility.
Legend of Saint Michael: The story of the archangel Michael's appearance to Bishop Aubert is a foundational legend of Mont-Saint-Michel. According to tradition, Michael appeared in a series of visions, but it wasn't until the third vision, when Michael physically touched Aubert’s head, that the bishop was convinced to build the church. The church was completed in 709 and dedicated to the archangel.
