Historically, Mont Saint-Michel was a site of great religious importance, dedicated to the Archangel Michael. Pilgrims flocked here to seek spiritual solace, and till today, it remains a sacred place of worship and reflection. Its exceptional blend of natural beauty and human craftsmanship led to Mont Saint-Michel's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979, making it famous worldwide. Every year, millions of visitors from around the world are drawn to Mont Saint-Michel, further enhancing its reputation as a must-see destination.

It’s believed that Saint Aubert, the bishop of Avranches, had found Mont Saint Michel and built an oratory, based on his vision after seeing him in dreams. Slowly the Abbey turned into a pilgrimage site when Benedictine monks started offering their prayers here. Due to its strategic and isolated location it has always been a part of the tumultuous mediaeval history of Europe.
