Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

From the abbey church patio it was possible to see the top of the the Gabriel Tower.

In the late 19th century, a light was shown from the Gabriel Tower, located at the foot of the abbey on the west side of the island, to guide ships up the Couesnon River to the villages of Beauvoir and Pontorson. However, within just over three decades commercial traffic on the river has ceased, and the light was discontinued.

Description: 1881: Light was shown from the window of a watchtower.

This light is not operational Date Established: 1870 Date Deactivated: 1904

Current Use: Part of the abbey.
