Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey is located on a small rocky island just one kilometer off the coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River. The island is most famous for the medieval Benedictine Abbey and church inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. In the 6th and 7th century the islet was used as a stronghold, and the construction of the first monastic establishment occurred in the 8th century. The church was built in the 11th century.

There exists an interesting legend about Archangel Michel and Bishop Aubert according to which bishop had a vision in which the archangel told him to build an oratory. During its long history the Abbey had a great influence and wealth. It was even used as a prison for some period of time.

Natural land bridge connects the mainland with the islet which, before the modernization, was covered with water during high tide and revealed during low tide. The tide in this area comes very quickly as one meter per second. It is very dangerous to go across the sands from one shore to another. In order to arrive at Mont Saint Michel there is a perfectly secure causeway.

900 steps, the Lace Staircase (Escalier de Dentelle) lead to the abbey church. The church of St. Pierre with the statue of St. Michel slaying the dragon is located halfway to the abbey. The abbey entrance can be reached by Grand Degré staircase.   

After the Eiffel Tower, Mont Saint Michel is the most visited attraction in France. This place is really worth visiting. Everyone will admire its beauty and cultura heritage. 

Notre-Dame de Paris (/ˌnɒtrə ˈdɑːm, ˌnoʊtrə ˈdeɪm, ˌnoʊtrə ˈdɑːm/;[4][5][6] French: [nɔtʁə dam də paʁi](listen); meaning "Our Lady of Paris"), referred to simply as Notre-Dame,[a] is a medieval Catholiccathedral on the Île de la Cité in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. The cathedral is consecrated to the Virgin Mary and considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Its pioneering use of the rib vault and flying buttress, its enormous and colourful rose windows, as well as the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration set it apart from the earlier Romanesque style.[7] Major components that make Notre Dame stand out include one of the world's largest organs and its immense church bells.[8]
