Will I have enough time at the Mont?
It depends on the tour. The day is long, but most of it is on the coach. Check how much free time your tour gives you, and choose a tour with a guide if you want the abbey explained in a short time.
Entry to the abbey is free on the first Sunday of January, February, March, November and December.
Can I choose a tour that avoids the crowds?
Arriving before 10:00 or after 15:00 helps to avoid the crowds. A coach tour has its own schedule, so you cannot always choose.
