The Abby at Mont Saint Michel was beautiful! It was worth seeing, and buying our tickets was easy. There is a warning about fake tickets on the official site, so I was nervous about booking through this one, but everything was authentic and accepted. When it is not busy, you can also buy tickets right at the Abby.

It wasn't as crowded as usual because the Pentecost festival had happened over the weekend, and we went the day after. However, I was shocked at the increase in price of the parking. Its now 19 euros instead of 12 for the day. I will have to be very selective who I take there in future.

Abbey entry vs island access— What’s the difference?
Mont-Saint-Michel is split into two parts: The island village is free to enter — stroll the cobbled lanes, visit shops, and enjoy panoramic views from the ramparts. The Abbey, perched at the top of the island, is the crown jewel — and requires a paid ticket to enter. All the ticket options include entry to the Abbey.

The narrow stone steps can make it difficult to move around, especially in the more historical areas.
