Mont Saint Michel is a monastery built on a rock island around 1 kilometer off the nothern coast of France. The island is itself just less than 1 kilometer in diameter. Nowadays there is a causeway which connects the island to the mainland. There are plans to replace this with a bridge and a bus service. This development is mainly welcomed by the local community. The Mont is the second most popular tourist attraction in France.
La Rochelle is the 3rd most visited town in France. There you can see some of the most beautiful architecture in the country.
