CMN runs the abbey. The public establishment runs the car parks. We run a visitor guide with partner tickets. Do not mix the three.

Mont-Saint-Michel · visitor notes

The official abbey website is abbaye-mont-saint-michel.fr. Tickets on the state channel are sold via tickets.monuments-nationaux.fr. The Établissement public du Mont-Saint-Michel runs parking and the Passeur (montsaintmichel.gouv.fr). The tourist office is a fourth URL. This page exists because people search “mont saint michel official website” and land on resellers — including this independent guide.

This is not the official website. We summarise CMN and EPMSM rules and link out. If a tariff conflicts with the official page, the official page wins.

How official booking behaves

The state shop is known for releasing abbey inventory about a month before the visit. Peak dates go red. Grey dates can mean closed or not yet on sale. Free-entry visitors still need a ticket created in the system.

Timing is everything

If you travel in 11 months, a partner allocation can be the only dated ticket you can hold today. If you travel in 11 days, try CMN first, then compare. Do not buy two tickets “just in case”. Refunds follow each seller’s rules.

How to save

Official free and reduced categories are only guaranteed when you book the product that honours them. A lump-sum coach tour may not itemise a €0 child abbey fare the way CMN does. Read inclusions.
