Mont Saint-Michel, Normandy France
The Mont-St-Michele in Normandy France forms a tower in the heart of an immense bay invaded by the highest tides in Europe. It was at the request of the Archangel Michel chief of the celestial militia that Aubert, Bishop of Avranches built and consecrated a small church on the 16th October 709. In 966 a community of Benedictines settled on the rock at the request of the Duke of Normandy and the pre-Romanesque church was built before the year one thousand.
