The town and Abbey of the Mont Saint-Michel built on a tiny rocky tidal island overlooking the Bay has captured the imagination of millions of visitors. The settlement on the island dates back to the 8th Century. The maze-like constructions overlapping one another unfold over centuries.
Lost between Brittany and Normandy, Mont Saint-Michel attracts several thousand visitors every year. Making the most of work being carried out during a restoration project, historians and archaeologists lift the veil on the architectural mysteries of an iconic monument constantly rebuilt throughout the thirteen centuries of its tumultuous history.
