Mont Saint Michel, Normandy, France

March 20, 2014

Classified by the UNESCO as a World Heritage monument, Mont Saint Michel Abbey was founded at the beginning of the Christian era.  The collegiate church dates from the IX and X centuries, but the site, as we see it today, has been developed over several centuries.  Saint Astier® Natural Hydraulic Limes were chosen due to its authenticity, sustainability and its ability to adapt to a marine environment for ongoing preservation, restoration and maintenance.
