The Mont Saint-Michel (in Norman Mont Saint Miché, in Breton Menez Mikael ar Mor) is a tidal islet located near the northern coast of France, where the river Couesnon flows, on which a sanctuary was built in honor of Saint Michael the Archangel, whose original name was Mons Sancti Michaeli in periculo mari (in Latin) or Mont Saint-Michel au péril de la mer (in French: in Italian, literally, "Mount San Michele at the danger of the sea").
It currently constitutes the nature center of the municipality of Le Mont-Saint-Michel (department of the Manche, administrative region of Normandy); a hyphen allows you to differentiate between the municipality and the islet: according to the official INSEE nomenclature the administrative unit is called (Le) Mont-Saint-Michel, while the islet is called Mont Saint-Michel. The lower sediments consist of debris from the Sée, Sélune and Couesnon rivers, which flow into the bay; surface sediments are found between land and sea; this area is rich in layers of peat alternating with limestone sand (crushed shells).
