The image captures a moment of daily life that recalls the millennial spiritual vocation of Mont Saint-Michel. A group of nuns in traditional black and white habit walk up the steep stone steps leading to the abbey. The religious figures, framed against the ancient granite walls, evoke the centuries of pilgrimages that have made this place one of the main centers of Christian devotion in Europe. The scene testifies how Mont Saint-Michel, despite mass tourism, still preserves its character as a sacred place dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, destination of faithful from around the world.
