Brief Description
"Perched on a rocky islet in the midst of vast sandbanks exposed to powerful tides between Normandy and Brittany stand the 'Wonder of the West', a Gothic-style Benedictine abbey dedicated to the archangel St Michael, and the village that grew up in the shadow of its great walls. Built between the 11th and 16th centuries, the abbey is a technical and artistic tour de force, having had to adapt to the problems posed by this unique natural site."

圣米歇尔山及其海湾
"诺曼底与布列塔尼之间有一片广袤的沙滩，沙滩中央有个 岩石小岛上，涨潮时常受潮水冲击，岛上矗立着被誉为“西方奇迹”的一座哥特式本笃会修道院，专为纪念天使长圣米歇尔而建，修道院周围则是一个村落。这座修 道院建于11至16世纪之间，是非凡的技术和艺术杰作，完美地适应了周围独特的自然环境。"
