A bronze, horizontal rectangular plaque features a central, recessed arch-shaped niche containing a raised relief of a rocky island. A structure with a pointed spire crowns the hill, surrounded by clustered houses and a winding stone wall. Below the niche, the text "LE MONT ST MICHEL" is stamped into the warm, brown metal. Light glints off the raised scene, highlighting detailed textures against the smooth border and the recessed, shadowed background.
