Part 2/9:
An architectural marvel, Mont St. Michel stands on an island off the coast of France. Originally housing a small church ordered by the Archangel Michel in the 8th century, it later grew to include a Benedictine Abbey. The island's walls were fortified during the Hundred Years War, and visitors can now wander through the charming village that developed in the Middle Ages, marveling at its unique, romantic structure.
