The holy Aubert of Avranches was bishop of the Norman city of Avranches in the 8th century. According to Christian tradition, he founded the first sanctuary on the rock of the later Mont-Saint-Michel.
According to legend, the Archangel Michael appeared to him several times, urging him to build a church on the then Mont Tombe. After initial hesitation, Aubert followed this command and had a chapel built, which became the origin of the famous pilgrimage site of Mont-Saint-Michel.
Aubert is venerated as a pious bishop. His feast day is September 10th.

A forgotten part of Mont Saint-Michel, this chapel on the northwest side of the island. At low tide you can easily walk towards this chapel that is not otherwise open to visitors, but is nevertheless beautifully situated on the rocks below the famous monastery.
