The history of the Mont Saint-Michel Go up starts with a legend it even closely related to that of Assembles Gargano, in Pouilles (Italy): At the beginning of VIIIème century, in 708, Aubert, bishop of Avranches, following an appearance of the Michaelmas archangel receives the order to build a building in which the merits of the archangel would be rented. The poor bishop believing to follir does not dare anything to make and decides to wait. One second time the archangel appears to him, and Aubert always doubts. But with the third appearance of the archangel plus any doubt does not remain with the spirit of the bishop, bus the Michaelmas, furious not to be listened leaves in Aubert a proof of its capacity: in cranium of the bishop appears a circular hole.

But the bishop should not suffer from it too much because he will die only of the years later. Today the cranium of Aubert is preserved in the basilica of Avranches. Is this history true or false? Nobody can bring the proof which will tip the scales on a side or other. At all events, the unquestionable bishop that these visions were not to put on the account of the madness, undertakes the work ordered by the archangel.
