Mont Saint Michel- Historical Heritage of France

Mont Saint Michel- Historical Heritage of France

France is the name of the most popular country in Europe for those who are thirsty for travel. Mont Saint Michel is one of the top tourist attractions in France. Mont Saint Michel, France's oldest and most traditional island, located in Normandy, France, was in the past a part of the mainland. About a few hundred years ago, this tiny island was separated from the mainland by a tidal wave and appeared in the heart of the sea.

The island's first communication with the mainland was introduced in the late nineteenth century. In 1879 a wooden bridge was built to connect the first island. However, during high tide, the island's communication with the mainland is cut off. However, the new bridge, built-in 2014 to connect the island, makes it easier to reach the island at high tide.

The new bridge sank underwater during the Super Tide. Then the island's connection with the mainland was cut off at once. Naturally, the question that comes to mind now is what is Super Tide? Super Tide is a big tide. This tidal wave called Super Tide is seen every 18 years. The last time this terrible tide was seen was in 2015. This eclipse is mainly due to the combined gravitational force between the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth due to the solar eclipse. The height of this terrible tide stands at 46 feet, which is almost three times higher than normal. Although it may seem scary, it is a heavenly feeling for those who are thirsty for travel.

The tide comes after the tide according to the law of nature. However, in this rare ebb and flow of the game, the normal composition is quite unusual. Unusually, after the super tide, the tidal water flows into the sea very fast. And leaves a vast expanse of sand. This is how the vast sandy beach wakes up here every 18 years. Unable to resist the urge to walk on this rare sandy beach that suddenly wakes up in the middle of the sea, many people come here. This beach, which woke up for a short time, was soon lost again in the heart of the sea.
