Mont Saint-Michel — 1300 Years Old
Mont Saint-Michel is, after Paris, France’s most popular tourist destination. In the next two seasons it’s likely to be even busier. Starting this May (and for a period of 18 months), the rocky tidal island in Normandy is celebrating its 1300th anniversary.
After centuries of silting, the rock is hardly recognizable as an island these days. That’s about to change. The government has kicked off a 150 million euro plan to make it an island once again, by 2012. The large parking area you can see on the Google Map above will be eliminated, and a bridge will link the island with the mainland.
