EDITORS COMMENTS
Mont Saint-Michel, a historic abbey and town perched atop a rocky outcrop off the coast of Normandy, France, is a sight to behold. This photograph, taken in 1921, captures the abbey as it appears during the low tide when the causeway connecting it to the mainland becomes exposed. The sands of the bay stretch out before the abbey, inviting tourists to explore the area on foot. However, as the tide recedes, the scene transforms into an opportunity for the enterprising locals. With the abbey seemingly closer and more accessible, some locals offer their services as guides, leading tourists across the sands for a fee. This tradition dates back centuries, with records of guides leading visitors to Mont Saint-Michel as far back as the 13th century. The photo shows the abbey's imposing silhouette against the sky, with the vast expanse of the bay and the sands stretching out before it. The low tide reveals the intricate patterns of the sand, creating a unique and ever-changing landscape. The Mont Saint-Michel at low tide is a breathtaking sight, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of this remarkable place. This photograph, taken over a century ago, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the experiences of tourists who came before us, and the enterprising locals who made their living off the tides. Mont Saint-Michel continues to be a popular destination for travelers, and the tradition of the low tide tours remains an essential part of its allure.
