Test your Skills on the banks of Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, France. The island has some of the most extreme tides in the world.
Mont Saint Michel is a medieval island commune, complete with an abbey at the top. It’s right off the coast of Normandy.
The tides can vary by 46 feet! At low tide, the ocean recedes, and visitors can trek across the wet sand to the island. It’s best done with a guide who understands the tides and can teach you how to escape the quicksand.
