St Michel Variation1 - a photo on Flickriver

www.fotografik33.com
Le Mont-Saint-Michel est une commune française située dans le département de la Manche et la région Basse-Normandie qui tire son nom d’un îlot rocheux consacré à saint Michel où s’élève aujourd’hui l’abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel.
L’architecture du Mont-Saint-Michel et sa baie en font le site touristique le plus fréquenté de Normandie et le deuxième de France (après l'Île-de-France) avec plus de 3 000 000 de visiteurs chaque année (3 250 000 en 2006). Une statue de saint Michel placée au sommet de l’église abbatiale culmine à 170 mètres au-dessus du rivage. Élément majeur, l'abbaye et ses dépendances sont classées au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 1862 (60 autres constructions étant protégées par la suite) ; la commune et la baie figurant depuis 19796 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.
En 2010, la commune comptait 43 habitants, appelés les Montois.

Mont Saint-Michel is a rocky tidal island 247 acres (100 ha) in size, and is a commune in Normandy, France. It is located approximately one kilometre (just over half a mile) off the country's northwestern coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. The island's highest point is 92 metres (301 feet) above sea level. The population of the island is 44, as of 2009.
The island has held strategic fortifications since ancient times, and since the eighth century AD has been the seat of the monastery from which it draws its name. The structural composition of the town exemplifies the feudal society that constructed it. On top God, the abbey and monastery, below this the Great halls, then stores and housing, and at the bottom, outside the walls, fishermen and farmers housing.
One of France's most recognisable landmarks, Mont Saint-Michel and its bay are part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites and more than 3 million people visit it each year.
