File:Timeless Mont Saint Michel (237816777).jpeg

500px provided description: A magical island topped by a gravity-defying medieval monastery, the Benedictine Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel counts among France?s most stunning sights. For centuries one of Europe?s major pilgrimage destinations, this holy mount is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is its breathtaking bay. The Mont was one of Christianity's most important pilgrimage sites from the 8th to the 18th century.

A horse drawn carriage stands in front of the Abbey?as these would have 100s of years ago?nothing has changed it would seem?but surely that?s not the truth!
