Mont St. Michel Tidal Basin

Mont St. Michel in France is a rock outcropping, an island, that sits above an expansive tidal flats. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and, like Venice, is the only place on Earth like it. The tide can come rushing in sweep tourists away. There’s a parking lot in the tidal basin and on very high tides it covers the parking lot. Thankfully, the folks in Normandie have put up a sign to warning unsuspecting tourists.
