Mont St. Michel lies on the coast of Normandy/Bretannie.It is a small rock linked with a causeway to the mainland.
It used to flood at high tide , which can be several meters in this part of the world. But the road was increased in height and the island is now accessable all day.
This has caused the surrounding marshes to silt completely full. The Island is therefor not an island any longer .
It is the intention to replace the road with an elevated train track on pilons and remove the road.
This is supposed to make it an island again.
Anyway this is all too complicated for Willy.
