About Mont Saint - Michel
I want to talk about Mont Saint – Michel’s history. Mont Saint – Michel is called the wonder of the West.
And in October 1994, it was registered in the Ramsar Convention.
 One Catholic bishop dreamed that an angel told him to build a sanctuary and then, Mont Saint – Michel was built.
This land was also called “a grave mountain” and it was a sanctuary for Celt.
In the 13th century, it became a fortress for the British army during the Hundred Year’s War so; it still has a big cannon.
After that, it became a jail but NapoleonⅢmade it back to a religious house.
