Mont-Saint-Michel has a population of less than 30 yearound, but the tiny island every high tide welcomes about 3 million tourists yearly.
Located off the north coast of France, along the English Channel, the Mont-Saint-Michel sits in a vast and beautiful bay that completely transforms with the tide.
Now accessible via a causeway, the rocky island was strategically cut off from the mainland when it was first settled in the 8th century.
