France, Mont Saint-Michel, laughs at the tides and rises Mont Saint-Michel, and the friends call it the holy mountain. Say it is a mountain, you don't think that you go to the holy mountain, you can see the mountain view, the rolling hills, or the cloud sea ladder. wrong! The holy mountain is not the Five Sacred Mountains. Mont Saint-Michel is the third largest holy place in the Catholic Church except Jerusalem and the Vatican. In the 8th century AD, Cardinal Aube built a small church on the top of the mountain. In the period of 1211-1228, the Mayer's Monastery was built on the mountain. Sacred Mountain is not only a pilgrimage site for Catholics, but also a favorite of tourists. During the day, the holy mountain is surrounded by large sand mud. When the tide rises in the evening, the tide will flood the shoal of the holy mountain to the land, making the holy mountain an island. Island? During the day, the island looks very cold, but at night, this island has only a low-key share. wrong! The holy mountain is not an ordinary island. In the daytime, the holy mountain is also approachable, but in the evening, the holy mountain is absolutely proud of the rivers and lakes! Tourists from afar, this is the beautiful night view. The tide rises and falls brings beautiful scenery and also the outcome of the war. In the English-French Hundred Years War between 1337 and 1453, 119 French soldiers hid in the monastery on the hill and fought the British for 24 years! Because every time as long as it stays for a long time, the tide rises up, it will drown the British army to attack the mountain, which has won valuable rest time for the French defenders. In this protracted war, the Holy Mountain is the only place in France that has not fallen. Hugo once said that Mont Saint-Michel is as important to France as the pyramid to Egypt.
