As a result of which the distance between the
shore and the coast was reduced, and with the
collaboration of the French authorities decided
to built a hydraulic dam, to help remove the
mud deposited by the rising waves on the island
and to make the mount saint Michael island beautiful
once again, the building of the damn will be
completed in 2012,but the damn finished in 2009,
it
also included the removal and destruction of
the ramp that was build on top of the natural
bridge and was made broad enough for the island
to join the city, it’ll be replaced by
a light bridge ,which will not only help in
improving the water flow but will also help
the damn to work efficeintly,as for visitors
visiting the island, special shuttles will transfer
them from the city to the island .the mountain
comprises of many towers, courtyards ,
crypts
and chapels. Today the mountain is seen as a
gothic style church. The mountain has many stair
cases and to reach the abbey one will have to
climb almost nine hundred steps and it worth
the climbing of stairs, halfway, the mountains
feature the very famous and the beautiful church
of saint Pierre and after crossing the grand
degr (a narrow staircase), opens the door of
the abbey entrance, from were one climbs to
the Sauté Gautier terrace, which gives
you mind blowing views, and its acts as a place
to give you complete comfort and relaxation.
