French landmark and wind power
The Geo Quiz is making a pilgrimage of sorts. We're looking for a tiny, tidal island, right off the coast of Normandy in France. It's famous for its breathtaking setting and is crowned by an abbey whose foundation dates back to the 8th century. A government plan to erect wind turbines nearby is now threatening its status as a World Heritage Site.
