According to tradition, Michael the archangel appeared to the Bishop of Avranches and ordered him to find the abbey on Mount Tomb. At the time, Mount Tomb was a granitic cone-shaped island. The locals looked at him with a bit of fear and superstition. In 1877, a dam was built linking the mainland with the islet, and it became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
