There have been many military campaigns conducted from this once fortified stronghold from as far back as 1010 with many illustrious names who have lived or fought here.The medieval town itself retains its cobbled streets, secret courtyards and half timbered houses with worn steps which sit well alongside the grandeur of the Mairies and other manor houses.

The long history of Mont St Michel www.mont-saint-michel.net is thought to date back to 708, when Aubert, bishop of Avranches had a sanctuary built on Mont Tombe in honour of the archangel Michael. The Benedictines settled in the abbey in the 10th century, while a village grew up below its’ walls. Classified as a historic monument in 1874, it underwent major restoration work. Visitors can now experience the splendour of the abbey that people of the middle ages regarded as a representation of the heavenly Jerusalem on earth, an image of paradise. Mont St Michel has been listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO since 1979.
