Mont Saint-Michel, France

Pictures by QT Luong

Perched on a rocky islet in the midst of vast sandbanks exposed to powerful tides between Normandy and Brittany stand the 'Wonder of the West', a Gothic-style Benedictine abbey dedicated to the archangel St Michael, and the village that grew up in the shadow of its great walls. Built between the 11th and 16th centuries, the abbey is a technical and artistic tour de force, having had to adapt to the problems posed by this unique natural site. Mont Saint-Michel is about 320km west of Paris. Mont-Saint-Michel and its Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
