You've likely heard about Mont Saint-Michel, one of the most striking sights in France. The village is perched on a rocky island surrounded by vast sandbanks that flood with the tides. The abbey at the top seems to rise straight out of the sea. What's fascinating is how the island transforms with the tides, turning from a coastal hilltop to a fully isolated island, a natural spectacle that has captivated visitors for centuries.
