Mont Saint-Michel (Alsace)
Mont Saint-Michel (German: Michaelsberg) is a hill, 437 metres high, in the Vosges mountains in the French region of Alsace. It rises above the town and abbey of Saint-Jean-Saverne (St. Johann bei Zabern). It is home to a St. Michael's Shrine like its more famous cousin in Normandy, but historically is not related to it.
