🇫🇷 Normandy | Mont-Saint-Michel: Where Heaven Meets the Tides 🌊🏰

Why It’s Legendary ✨ "The Wonder of the West": This UNESCO-listed island abbey (since 1979) magically transforms with Europe’s highest tides—15m surges can swallow the causeway in minutes! ⏳ Sacred & Strategic: Founded after Archangel Michael’s 708 AD vision, it withstood English sieges in the Hundred Years’ War and even housed prisoners during the French Revolution. ⚔️ Architectural Marvel: A layered cake of styles—Romanesque crypts, Gothic "Merveille" cloisters, and a golden statue of St. Michael piercing the sky at 78m. Fun Fact: Builders used tidal barges to transport stone—medieval engineering at its finest! 🛶 Visitor Must-Knows 🎟️ ✔ Tidal Alchemy: Check tide tables for the "island effect" (best viewing: 2hrs before high tide). ✔ Smart Access: Park at P2 lot (€15/day) → take free shuttle or walk the 2.5km bridge (45 mins). Skip crowds: Arrive pre-9 AM or book sunset tours. ✔ Essentials: Wear waterproof boots (cobbles get slick!) and pack a knight-worthy picnic (only 3 restaurants on-site). 🥖 Hidden Gems 💎 Abbey’s Secret Garden: Monks grew herbs here—sniff the sea-salted thyme. 🌿 Night Illuminations: The abbey glows gold after dark (summer only). #MontSaintMichelMagic #NormandyDreams #TidalWonders
