Le-mont-saint-michel, Information and images

  • The fact that the mystical attraction Le Mont St. Michel, which is flooded every year by around 3.5 million tourists, actually also home to 44 inhabitants of the village of Le Mont-St-Michel, is usually forgotten.. <9> <9> <994/1234858> <994/12081> <994/1694359> <9> <9> The community is located on the rocky island of the same name at the mouth of the Couesnon River in the mudflats and belongs to the French region of Basse- Normandy, on the border with Brittany.. <9> <9> <994/960709> <994/960710> <994/960711> <9> <9> The island is 157 meters high with the world-famous constructions of the Norman-style Benedictine Abbey, built in 1022 and enthroned as one Pyramid over the bay.. Benedictine monks lived on the mountain until the beginning of the 60s of the last century, today there is the Brotherhood ´Fraternité Monastique de Jérusalem´ <9>. The entire site has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 and has been part of the French Way of St. James since 1998.. <9> <9> <994/960717> <994/960719> <994/960730> <9> <9> Opening times and prices <9> <9> May / June daily 9-19h <9> July / August Monday-Saturday 9-22h30 <9> otherwise daily 9. 30h-18h <9> adults 8,50 Euro, audioguide 4 Euro <9> You should allow for a tour well 3h plus waiting time.. <9> The latest information as well as the tide times can be found <1001> ONLINE in English <9> <9> Currently, in a major restructuring project, the nature around the mountain is trying to restore, which is why the old, many Womofahrer still known parking space directly below the mountain is no longer usable.. It tries to stop the complete sanding of the bay, which is why the dam is removed and replaced by a wooden pile bridge and a new weir is built.. <9> About the background and progress of all these measures <1002> ONLINE informs this page in English} <9> <9> <994/960710> <994/1389480> <994/1642238> <9> <9> Watt wander around the mountain is recommended only with guide due to the risks of quicksand.. The tide comes at great speed, the tidal range is up to 14m.. <9> The guides of the Chemins de la Baie, Tel. 0233898088 are happy to provide information and guide, depending on the route for 5 euros per person.. <9> <9> <994/960731> <994/960732> <994/12071> <9> <9> Historical <9> <9> * First construction of a sacral building around 708/709 according to the legend of the Archangel Michael Bishop Aubert of Avranches had appeared and had ´demanded´ the construction of a church on the island <9> * 933 Construction of a pre-Romanesque church by the Normans <9> * 965 Foundation of the Benedictine monastery <9> * 1017 Beginning of the construction of the central Abbey Hildebert II. <9> * 1022 to 1084 Construction of the Romanesque abbey church <9> * 1423-1434 Siege by the English and destruction of the village <9> * 1458 Children´s pilgrimages took place, for example 100 boys came out the German Schwäbisch Hall 1458 as a pilgrim to the mountain <9> * 1469 Le Mont St Michel becomes the order seat of the Order of Saint Ordre de Saint-Michel <17> 1790 the Benedictines leave the castle (to return only in 1966) and the plant is in the course of French.. Revolution turned into a prison.. The mountain is now called Mont-Libre, which seems quite sarcastic given its use.. About 18,000 people were imprisoned here.. Due to the circumstances of the time and its use as a prison, the Mont reached its lowest point in the opinion of the people.. For centuries it was considered a religious-cultural center of importance, but now he symbolized only hatred and misery.. As a result, buildings disintegrated and the population became totally impoverished.. <9> * In 1836, Victor Hugo created a movement to restore the architectural significance of Mont. Its appearance and location fit well into the Romantic period, which glorified it with writings and images, and mythicalized <9> * 1863 the prison is closed < 9> * 1874 Mont-St-Michel becomes monument historique, national monument.. The Caisse Nationale des monuments historiques et des Sites is set to operate and will restore the site over a very long period of time, including the two world wars of the following century.. <9> * In 1879 the dam connecting the island to the mainland was completed.. <9> * 1901 - 1939 a narrow-gauge railway runs along the dam, the tracks of which were removed again in 1944. <9> * 1966 Millennium celebrations for the Benedictine monks, who now live on the mountain again, although the facility itself remains in state administration.. After the departure of the Benedictines in 1969, brothers and sisters of the community of Jerusalem now live in the monastery.. <9> <9> <9> <994/960706> <994/960707> <994/960708> <9> <9> The Mont and the Sea <9> <9> Before the dam was built in 1877-79 was the island only to reach over the watt at low tide and access thus very tides dependent.. With the construction of the dam was here more flexible, but also the dam was under flood even during storm surge.. <9> <9> The biggest drawback of the dam, however, was the passage of time through the large sanding of the bay, as it prevents the natural currents of the water.. Added to this was the effort to wrest the Watt through canalization farmland.. <9> <9> As a result, the Mont-St-Michel was less and less perceived as an island.. <9> In 2006, then, the then Prime Minister de Villepin launched a project that would restore the original conditions around the Mont within 6 years and immense costs of more than 170 million euros.. <9> <9> The previously optimally located island near parking disappear, but there are new on-land parking and a shuttle service to the castle <9> Until 2014, the shuttles then on the new access road (1085m in length) and about drive the new wooden stilts bridge (760 m over the water) to the foot of the mountain.. <9> <9> It is hoped that in 10 years through these measures, the nature will have regenerated so far that the water level in the bay have increased by 70 cm and the castle will be an island again.. <9> <9> <1003>
