EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the bustling shops of Mont Saint-Michel during the early 20th century. This photograph, taken circa 1905, offers a glimpse into the thriving tourist industry that had already established itself on this historic site long before mass tourism became the norm. Mont Saint-Michel, a stunningly beautiful island located off the coast of Normandy, France, has been a popular pilgrimage destination for centuries. But by the beginning of the 20th century, the island's allure extended beyond the religious and the spiritual, drawing in travelers seeking souvenirs and postcards to commemorate their visit. In this image, we see a lively scene of shops lining the narrow streets of Mont Saint-Michel. The storefronts are adorned with colorful signs and displays, enticing visitors to step inside and browse. The wares on offer include intricately carved wooden figurines, delicate porcelain, and hand-painted postcards featuring the iconic views of the island and its abbey. The shops at Mont Saint-Michel were an integral part of the tourist experience, providing visitors with a memento of their journey that they could take home and share with loved ones. And while the shops may have changed over the years, the allure of Mont Saint-Michel as a must-visit destination remains as strong as ever. This photograph is a fascinating reminder of the rich history of tourism at Mont Saint-Michel and the role that souvenir shops played in shaping the visitor experience over a century ago. It also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of this remarkable place, which continues to draw visitors from around the world today.
