France is the name of the most popular city in Europe for travelers. Mont Saint-Michel is one of the top attractions in France. Mont Saint Michel, France's oldest and most traditional island, located in Normandy, France, was once a part of the mainland. About a few hundred years ago, this small island was separated from the mainland by the impact of the sea tide and disappeared into the sea.
The island's first communication with the mainland began in the late nineteenth century. In 1879, a wooden bridge was built to connect the first island. However, the island is cut off from the mainland at high tide. However, with the new bridge that was built in 2014 to connect the island, the island can be reached easily even during high tide.
The new bridge is submerged under water during supertides. The island's communications with the mainland were then completely cut off. Naturally, the question may arise in the minds of many now, what is supertide? In fact, supertides are large tides. Every 18 years this terrible tide called supertide occurs. This terrible tide was last seen in 2015. Supertides are caused by the combined gravitational force of the moon, sun and earth during a solar eclipse. The height of this terrible tide stands at 46 feet, which is almost three times higher than normal. Although seemingly terrifying, this tide is a heavenly feeling for the true wanderlust.
According to nature's rules, tides come after tides, but this rare tides accumulate in a more unusual way than usual. Unusually, after a supertide, the low tide flows very quickly into the sea, leaving behind a vast sandy beach. This is how a wide sandy beach wakes up here every 18 years. Unable to resist the temptation of walking on this rare sandy beach that suddenly wakes up in the ocean, many people rush here. This beach wakes up for a short time and soon disappears again in the ocean.
The rough seas and roaring waves around this small island off the coast of northern France are one of the tourist attractions. This small island peeks out in the blue waters of the horizon like an artist's painting. Maybe that's why Mont Saint-Michel's popularity is unlike any other tourist attraction in France. One of the main attractions of the island of Mont St. Michel is the mysterious castle. Although this fort is well known as Ashram. A small hermitage was built in the early 8th century, which was later restored. Apart from this monastery, there are several other buildings on the hill at Mont Saint-Michel, most of which were built in the Gothic style in the 13th century. To see these, many tourists flock to this island every day. Even with so many tourists, the island has some permanent residents. Tourists visiting this island are one of the most important means of their life.
Spread over an area of more than 6560 hectares, this small island is widely known as a World Heritage Site. In 1979, Mont Saint Michel was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since then, the popularity of Mont Saint Michel has spread widely throughout the world, and people from different parts of the world flock to this island. Historically, the importance of this small island is no less. Hundreds of years ago, this small island has witnessed many historical events. For example, despite many attempts during the Hundred Years' War, the British could not capture this island in any way. Witnessing many such historical events in the course of time, the island is still standing in the sea, showing the historical importance of the island standing in its own identity.
