our world is full of natural and historical attractions. In today's world, despite the travel constraints caused by the corona-virus pandemic, we can travel to any corner of the world and see the tourist attractions with the proper use of internet. One of the most amazing attractions in France is the island and the castle of Mont Saint Michel. St. Michel Island is located at the bottom of the Couesnon River. The environment around the island is greatly influenced by the tides of the ocean, meaning that the tides cause the environment to be sometimes dry and sometimes underwater.

Tourists wishing to reach Mount Saint-Michel Island must cross a bridge and road. The bridge and road were sometimes blocked by tides, and this difficulty of accessing the island caused that Britain could never capture it during the war. The island's resistance to British attacks inspired young French people to resist.

In the eighth century AD, Obert, bishop of Avranches, claimed that an angel had persuaded him to build a church on Mount Tomb. The church was built in 708 AD and was dedicated to St. Michel, the patron saint of sailors, so Mont Tomb Island became known as Mount St. Michel.

In addition to the church, Mont Saint Michel Island is a full-fledged medieval town.
