When was mont st Michel built?
In prehistoric times the bay was land. As sea levels rose erosion shaped the coastal landscape over millions of years. Several blocks of granite or granulite emerged in the bay, having resisted the wear and tear of the ocean better than the surrounding rocks. These included Lillemer, the Mont-Dol, Tombelaine and Mont Tombe, later called Mont-Saint-Michel. (Wikipedia)

What is the most popular food in Paris?
Paris is multi-cultural, as is true of many parts of France, and many different types of food are popular. One significant feature of French eating is their love of bread. Bread and wine are considered vital to daily life, and we are talking about fresh bread here, baked daily on the premises, and, in the cities, like Paris, the French queue for their fresh bread every morning.
They also love their cheeses. And their famous dishes Coq au Vin and Foie Gras are popular throughout the country. However, French cuisine is renowned as probably one of the most diverse in the world.
Different regions have their own particular preferences. In Alsace, for example, sauerkraut is popular. Why? Because that area borders Germany and was once part of Germany. And those areas of France that border Italy enjoy predominantly Itaian food, such as delicious, simple but tasty, pastas in all their glory.
Coastal areas favor sea fish, understandably. Districts near the Mediterranean Sea make good use of olive oil and local herbs and tomatoes. Inland the diet of different territories will be strongly influenced, or even determined, by local land and livestock produce. The northwest eating habits feature milk products such as butter and crème fraiche, but in the south there is more fruit.
SUMMARY
In Paris and throughout France there is a great diversity of food preferences, determined by local availability, and by cultural links with neighboring countries. Even so, the common denominator for Paris and for all regions is 'bread and wine'. Enjoy!
