On the drive in, you can see the abbey rising above the completely flat land that surrounds it. This rocky tidal island stands on its own and is a completely magnificent sight to behold, it will literally take your breath away. At high tide, the island get completely surrounded by water so visitors should make sure to visit only when it low tide or you make get trapped! Just kidding, a road leads through the marsh to the island which will always keep your car above the water level.
The views from the top of the island are spectacular, but be prepared to walk up rock laid roads to get there. Despite the challenges, Mont Saint Michel is well worth the visit.
