A settlement in Roman times, Mont Saint-Michel was later a stronghold of the Romano-Bretons until it was destroyed by the invading Franks. The area was to see a revival in the early eighth century when a church was built on the site. Mont-Saint-Michel's storied past begins in 708 AD. After having a vision of the archangel Saint Michael, Bishop Aubert built the first sanctuary on the island (then known as Mont Tomb). On request from the Duke of Normandy, Benedictine monks settled on the island in 966 AD. The abbey and the village of Mont-Saint-Michel, built between the 11th and 16th centuries, are a unique ensemble of Gothic-style architecture and medieval Christian civilization. Perched on a rocky islet in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, they offer a stunning view of the sea and the landscape. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre and a popular tourist attraction.
