When to go to Mont-Saint-Michel?
Nicknamed the Marvel, this rock was plainly designed by someone with firm views on lifts and no intention of installing one. The ramparts have held out for centuries; your back surrenders somewhere on the abbey stairs. In the bay, the tide plays hide-and-seek with the visitors, and at high water the nearest car park becomes less a facility than an urban legend.
