Comment
Mont Saint-Michel (the islet or abbey) in turn gave its name to the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, whose barrier beach is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The Bay of Mont Saint-Michel is the scene of the highest tides in continental Europe, with tidal ranges of up to 15 meters, the difference between low and high tide. The sea then reaches the coast "at the speed of a galloping horse", as the saying goes.Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Mont-Saint-Michel
Chief of the celestial militia of angels of Good, he is mainly represented at the time of the end of times (Apocalypse / foundation of the Kingdom of God) as a sauroctonic winged knight, who strikes down the Devil during the angels' war, and with the scales of the Weighing of Souls on Judgment Day, judge and guide to the salvation of souls for Hell or Paradise (symbolic allegory of the final victory of Good over Evil). https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_(archangel)
