History of the Mont Saint-Michel

The Mont Saint-Michel is a stunning tidal island in Normandy, France, famous for its dramatic location and its medieval architecture, which includes the beautiful Abbey of Mont Saint Michel. Under the abbey and its main church is a secret world of crypts and chambers, built to support the mass of the abbey or dug in the rock. In this story, we will explore more than a thousand years of history, along which this medieval wonder formed. From Christianisation to Viking raids and medieval monasticism, from Anglo-French wars to architectural styles, we have a lot to discover.
