Mont Saint-Michel 48°38′10′′N, 1°30′41′′W. Mont Saint-Michel is a commune located 1km off the coast of Normandy, France. Over the past 600 years, the island has functioned as a prominent monastery (accessible to pilgrims only during low tide), a French fortification that withstood English attacks during the Hundred Years’ war, and a prison. Today, Saint-Michel is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. (Photo by Daily Overview/DigitalGlobe, a Maxar Company)
