Mt St Michel: Breton ou Normand?

J'avais pour habitude de dire que l Mont Saint Michel etait Normand...

1- Parce que sur place, il y a des drapeaux Normands et non Bretons

2- Parce que le Couasnon se deverse dans la Mer au Sud du Mont... et l on sait que le Couasnon separe le Normandie de la Bretagne!

Enfin... voila une preuve.... Merci Wikipedia!!! Quelle source d information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-) On devrai pouvoir la referencer a l universite!!!!

I always sais that the mont Saint Michel was Normand... Wikipedia agrees with me!!! I do not undertand why teachers do not let us use Wikipedia as a source for our assigments!!!! ;-)

Here is my source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Saint-Michel

Administration

The islet belongs to the French commune of Le Mont-Saint-Michel, of the Manche département, in the Basse-Normandie région. Population (1999): 50. Mont Saint-Michel belongs to the Organization of World Heritage Cities.

Baie du mont Saint-Michel, elle aussi classée au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco

Mont Saint-Michel has also been the subject of traditional, but nowadays good-humoured, rivalry between Normans and Bretons. Bretons claim that, since the Couesnon River marks the traditional boundary between Normandy and Brittany, it is only because the river has altered its course over the centuries that the mount is on the Norman side of the frontier - as expressed in the rhyme "le Couesnon en sa folie mit le Mont en Normandie" ("The Couesnon in its madness placed [Mont Saint-Michel] in Normandy"). This legend amuses the frontier inhabitants who know that the border is not located on the Couesnon river itself but on the firm ground at 4 km in the west, with the foot of the solid mass of Saint-Brelade.

So, yeah finally... THe Mont Saint Michel, is The Mont Saint Michel... Who cares who he belongs to?

Apres tout, le Mont Saint Michel est le Mont Saint Michel... Breton/Normad... il et la et c est tout!!!
