"A wondrous pyramid".On the border between Brittany and Normandy, between Cancale and Granville, the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel is a fascinating place. The Mount itself, perched on a rocky outcrop, forms a tiny village whose Grande Rue (the main and, indeed, the only street on the Mount) climbs up to meet the Benedictine abbey at its summit.The bay, designated a Unesco World Heritage site in 1979, is a land of history and legend, shaped over the millennia by the hidden forces of nature. It is here that you will find the highest tides in Europe.Don't leave the village without tasting the delicious omelette made by Mère Poulard.Mont-Saint-Michel is part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
