Mont Saint Michel was one of the most important military fortresses in the middle ages.
Its precipitous rock and the tides that cut it off from the mainland twice a day are a natural form of protection that the architects and builders of medieval times were to reinforce by means of an impressive defensive system made up of ramparts, towers and bastions.
This extraordinary and perfectly preserved group of defences is one of the finest and most important achievements of medieval military architecture.
By walking around the ramparts of Mont Saint Michel you will come across magnificent views over the bay and the world’s largest tides that invade it twice a day.
