Mont Saint-Michel Castle of France |
The castle on Mont Saint-Michel sits near the top this conical-shaped island made of granite in the bay of Normandy. It is crowned by the Mont Saint-Michel abbey, which rises 240 feet above sea level. The island has been fortified since ancient times, and improved fortifications in the 15th century prevented the English from seizing the island in repeated invasions during the Hundred Years' War.
