Mont-Saint-Michel regains its island status



Mont-Saint-Michel, a Benedictine abbey established in the 11th century in a bay off France's Normandy coast, has - according to Fox News - officially become an island again upon the completion of a decade-long project to replace an longstanding artificial causeway with a bridge.

While this may result in some inconvenience for the 2.5 million tourists who visit the Abbey each year, the bridge will allow water to flow freely around the world heritage site and help remove the sand infilling the bay. I'm sure the site will be all the more impressive without dozens of tour buses trundling up to the base of the Abbey every day.
