Mont Saint-Michel is incredibly stunning no matter the tide.

In between two powerful tides from Normandy and Brittany

stands the gothic-styled Benedictine Abbey named after

and dedicated to the archangel Saint Michael.

Mont Saint-Michel wasn't always an island.

In prehistoric times, it stood on dry land.

However, as sea levels rose, erosion reshaped the coast.

Even today, it only sits 600 meters from land.

Although it has less than 50 full-time residents,

it is visited by more than three million people each year.

Mont Saint-Michel is a medieval time capsule

and was one of the first monuments to be classed

as a UNESCO World Heritage Site back in 1979.
