Mont St-Michel
POP 43
It's one of France's most iconic images: the slender towers and sky-scraping turrets
of the abbey of Mont St-Michel rising from stout ramparts and battlements, the
whole ensemble connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway.
Bishop Aubert of Avranches is said to have built a devotional chapel on the sum-
mit of the island in 708, following his vision of the Archangel Michael, whose gilded
figure, perched on the vanquished dragon, crowns the tip of the abbey's spire.
