The granite rock of Mont Saint-Michel was originally called Mont Tombe before Charlemagne chose Saint Michael as protector of his empire in the 9th century. The legend tells that the history of Mont-Saint-Michel begins in 708, after the archangel Michael appeared to Bishop Aubert the Bishop of Avranches three times in a dream and asked him to build a sanctuary in his name. In 966, a community of Benedictines settled and constructed a first church. The place then became a major pilgrimage destination in Medieval France.
