From the eighteenth century, the island has housed the monastery from which the island's name, Saint Michel is drawn. The island was built according to class structure with God/the Abbey up top, making its way down to the Great Halls, stores and housing and then outside the walls, fishermen and farmers housing.
An enjoyable island to visit, very tiny and easy to get around. It is mostly filled with restaurants and souvenir shops, but you get a great look out from the top. They are working on the outside of the island in terms of how you get to there, as you park in the car park (which is expensive) and get a free bus to the island. We enjoyed our visit and the rain seemed to hold off for us so we were happy!
