Where is Mont St Michel?

Mont St Michel dominates the skyline off the coast of Northern Brittany / Western Normandy in France.  Mont Saint-Michel is a rocky tidal island. There is access by road to island.

It is located approximately one kilometre off the country’s north coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches.

The island has been a strategic point holding fortifications since ancient times, and since the 8th century AD it became the seat of the Saint-Michel monastery, from which it draws the name.
