France 🇫🇷A place you can’t miss to unlock your life’s wishes🔒

🔷Located on a small island in the Manche department of France, 🇫🇷Mont Saint-Michel, two kilometers from the coast, is a famous French monument and Catholic pilgrimage site. The island is cone-shaped, with a circumference of about 900 meters. It is composed of towering granite and is about 88 meters above sea level. 🔶In 708 AD, Bishop Ober of Yafhunsh ordered the construction of a temple for the Archangel on Mount Dombo. The Archangel Saint Michael is the god of war and has an importance that cannot be underestimated in the religious beliefs of the Middle Ages. According to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, Saint Michael once defeated the dragon, which symbolized the devil. 🔷From then on, this place became the third largest holy place after Jerusalem and the Vatican. The monastery here was used as a prison until 1863. It was not until 1874 that it was regarded as a historical site and renovated. The project is still in progress. 🔶This place has a long history. After climbing to the top, you will find beautiful natural scenery. The Bay of Saint-Malo where Mont Saint-Michel is located is famous for its rapid tides. The difference in sea level between the highest tide and the lowest tide is as high as 15 meters. Since there are few deep water areas in the bay and the bottom is flat, the sea is 15 to 20 kilometers away from the shore at low tide. When the tide rises, it looks like an isolated island in an instant, but now a road has been built and the island is no longer isolated. 🔷In 1979, Mont Saint-Michel and its bay were listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. 📍There are countless restaurants and souvenir shops on the mountain, but the prices are a bit expensive. If you have a limited budget, you might as well bring your own food. 📍Transportation: It is recommended to find a one-day bus tour on the travel website. It costs about HK$1,000 per person. The meeting point is usually under the Eiffel Tower 🗼. The one-way bus ride takes 4 hours 🚌 and the return trip also takes 🫠 a total of 8 hours. ⚠️After the bus arrives, you will find a shuttle bus that can take you directly to the outside of Mont Saint Michel, or you can walk there in about 25 minutes. ⚠️Don't miss the tour bus, otherwise it will cost about €500 to find a car to get back to the center of Paris ⭐️Although Mont Saint-Michel is a long way away, it is really worth visiting once in life, and it is not too much to unlock it as a wish list. #France #World Heritage #Historic Sites #Mont Saint-Michel
