It's quite impressive, especially because there's nothing else around it.

The Tour du Nord is a mighty defensive tower on the northern edge of Mont Saint-Michel, built in the late 15th century under Charles VIII. It once served as an artillery position and watchtower to protect the abbey hill from attacks during the Hundred Years' War. Today, the tower is part of the Chemin des Remparts, the circular walk along the city walls. From here, you can enjoy impressive views over the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, especially at low tide and sunset. Although the tower is usually closed to the public, its massive construction still conveys the defensive character of bygone times and is one of the most beautiful vantage points on Mont Saint-Michel.

The King's Gate was built in the 15th century as part of the extensive fortifications that made Mont Saint-Michel a virtually impregnable fortress during the Hundred Years' War. Behind the simple stone architecture lies a sophisticated defense system: The gate was once secured by a drawbridge, a portcullis, and several locking mechanisms. Attackers attempting to conquer the Mont had to break through several gates one after the other.

The higher you climb, the quieter it becomes. Small side streets, hidden staircases, and wall passages lead to vantage points and quiet corners from which you can survey the expanse of the bay. Particularly impressive is the walk along the old fortifications – the battlements and walls, from which you can observe the mighty tides.

Mont Saint-Michel is not only impressive from the outside, but also inside, a labyrinth of paths, steps, and narrow alleys that spiral around the granite rock up to the famous abbey. Upon entering through the main gate, the "Porte du Roi," you are transported back in time. Cobblestones, half-timbered houses, old inns, and small shops line the "Grande Rue," the main street, which winds its way up in tight curves. It is often bustling with activity – pilgrims, visitors, and traders fill the street as it once did in the Middle Ages.

There are nice painted cows next to the road.

The access to the abbey and the village is well fortified
