Mont Saint-Michel
is an island commune in Normandy,
France. It is located approximately one kilometre off the country's northwestern coast, at the
mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. Its unique position of being an
island only 600 metres from land made it readily accessible on low tide to the
many pilgrims to its abbey. Equally, this position made it readily defensible
as an incoming tide stranded, or drowned, would-be assailants. Source
