Monument aux morts du Mont-Saint-Michel, War memorial in Le Mont-Saint-Michel, France.
The Monument aux morts du Mont-Saint-Michel is a granite obelisk standing near the cemetery with a cross and the Mont-Saint-Michel coat of arms at its top. The stone structure carries golden inscriptions commemorating those who died in service to France.
The memorial was erected after World War I to honor eight community members from the island who died between 1914 and 1918. This period marked a significant loss for the Mont-Saint-Michel population and shaped how the place remembers its past.
The inscriptions in golden letters read 'QU'ILS REPOSENT EN PAIX' and 'AUX ENFANTS DU MONT ST MICHEL MORTS POUR LA FRANCE', connecting the island community to those who died. These words shape how visitors understand the place as a site of collective memory and local grief.
The memorial sits on the island northwest of the cemetery in an accessible location. Visitors can easily include it when exploring the Mont-Saint-Michel, as it lies near other important sites on the island.
The base of the structure bears the inscription SOUSCRIPTION PUBLIQUE, indicating that local residents pooled their own money to build it. This detail reveals how much the memorial mattered to the island community at that time.
