One of the most celebrated small islands in the world became a true island this week for the first time since 1879.
The Mont Saint-Michel, an 8th century abbey-island just off the Norman coast, was cut off by an exceptionally high tide for 20 minutes on Wednesday night. The last time that the island was surrounded by sea water was just before the building of a one mile-long road causeway from “le continent” 134 years ago.
The ring of waves, though brief, was a vindication, ahead of schedule, of a €200m project to restore the “maritime character” and spiritual dignity of the Mont by banishing the salt-flats and car parks which once besieged its medieval walls. quote:Risposta al messaggio di francom inserito in data 26/07/2013 22:01:22 (Visualizza messaggio in nuova finestra)>>l'avevo sentito al telegiornale,la notizia e vecchiotta Nando tutti sapevano che quella cosa non si poteva fare.Un giorno arrivò uno che non lo sapeva,e la fece
