Sun and Moon Create Europe's 'Tide of the Century'

Thousands of tourists in northern France were delighted this weekend by a so-called “tide of the century,” which scientists say actually happens every 18.6 years.

The visual highlight of Saturday's rising water was the formation of a temporary island, crowned by the picturesque Mont Saint-Michel, a medieval abbey in Normandy that is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Yeah, pretty cool stuff. :-) Mont Saint Michel is pretty cool in general.
