On October 19, 2020 the UNESCO heritage looks like an island when a high tide temporarily turned it into isolation. The experts say such high tide is a rare thing to happen, within few hours the water covers the raised bridge that connects the Mont to the outside world. Rare occurrence which can take places almost  20 times a year, cuts off the World Heritage site from the mainland for several hours, as the 760m curving bridge - opened in 2014 - to the island flooded and the design of the bridge is made such a way.
