The French have their famous Mont Saint-Michel on the coast of Normandy. I just found out the British have mimicked their own on their side of the Channel.

Re: Mont Saint-Michel
With the small difference, the Mon St. Michel is a church and monastery while St. Michael's Mont was actually home to the St. Aubyns and fortification of the coast. So, depsite all similarities in the appearance, a total different purpose and architecture. And of course, St. Michael's Mont is not so much tourist napping than Mont St. Michel.
