Castle in Europe...can someone help?

I have seen pics of a castle that I think is in Europe that is built on some rocks and looks to be surrounded by water at high tide. But at low tide it is surrounded by sand. Does anyone know what and where this is?

    I agree with the other two posters...however, Mont Saint Michel is actually an abbey at the top of a rocky hill with a little village directly beneath it which used to house the pilgrims who came here to worship. Today you'll still find the "hostels" full of revelling pilgrims as well as a number of quaint shops and restaurants. One such establishment (as well as the oldest) is Mere Poulard's restaurant - right at the base of the hill. There you'll find some of the most expensive omelettes in the world, but you can watch the cooks prepare them for free - it's like a little egg-beater concert - very nice.

    It is said that Mont Saint Michel has the second highest tide in the world after the Bay of Fundy in Canada. If you go to France and up into Normandy, make sure you don't miss it...especially in summer they have a very beautiful light and sound show in the abbey - (May - July) - plus it's really cool to see how the road leading to Mont Saint Michel gets covered up by the water, turning the "rock" into an island - unique experience.

    Sounds like Mount St. Michel (maybe I didn't spell this right) off the North Coast of France.
