Mont Saint-Michel; It stands on the sea level, like a mystical island in the sea, often surrounded by vast stretches of sand that only become an island at low tide. When the tide rises, the water rushes in, turning the surroundings into a vast expanse. From a distance, the pyramid-shaped silhouette of Mont Saint-Michel emerges on the endless sea of sand, like a mirage, both enchanting and dreamlike. Mont Saint-Michel is the third most sacred site in Catholicism, after Jerusalem and the Vatican. In 1979, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
