5Mont Saint-Michel – The Island Abbey
One of France’s most magical sights is the Mont Saint-Michel, a medieval abbey rising dramatically from a rocky island surrounded by tidal waters.
At high tide, it appears completely isolated from the mainland, creating an almost fairy-tale atmosphere. The abbey itself dates back to the 8th century and has served as a religious and strategic fortress.
Its winding streets and towering spires make it one of the most unforgettable monuments in France.
