Perhaps born from a tidal wave
0

Mont-Saint-Michel and Mont Tombelaine facing it are both shrouded in mystery and legends. Their very birth would have been caused by a tidal wave (attested in 709) covering the forest of Scissy. Only three mountains would have remained, Mont Tombe (Saint-Michel), Tombelaine, and Mont Dol (inland). It is also said that the Archangel Saint Michael would have buried the dragon of the Apocalypse in the depths of Mont Tombe.
