A few weeks ago, we went to Mont Saint Michel to meet a veritable institution: La M\u00e8re Poulard.<\/p>\n

It all begins with a guided tour of the Abbey, a historic monument that has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1979
\nwithin the Mont Saint-Michel and its bay, and is managed by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux. The Abbey is one of
\nFrance’s most visited cultural sites. Mont Saint-Michel is the marvel and masterpiece of Western architecture, built over 1300 years ago. A UNESCO natural and cultural heritage site, Mont Saint-Michel is one of the 8 Wonders of the World.Mont Saint-Michel was the center of spirituality in the Western world from the 8th to the 16th century, when the greatest pilgrimages in the West took place. Mont Saint-Michel became the symbol of French National Resistance during the “100 Years’ War” in the 14th and 15th centuries, when 101 French knights victoriously defended Mont Saint-Michel against 25,000 English soldiers. Mont Saint-Michel lies at the heart of an immense bay, home to the world’s highest tides. It’s a unique place that tourists come to see from all over the world. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
