A majestic and awe-inspiring site, the rocky islet where Mont Saint Michel exists has lured pilgrims and tourists for centuries. Considered to be one of the wonders of the western world, Mont Saint Michel is one of France’s most iconic attractions—it is both globally famous and one of the most visited attractions in the country. Mont Saint Michel is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it is also visited by more than 3 million people annually, who come to this portion of the Normandy coastline to check out the monastery and Medeival city on a sometimes-island in the large Saint Malo Bay on France’s Northern Coast.
