Mont-Saint-Michel parking prices: what you pay and what is free

Entering Mont-Saint-Michel costs nothing: the village is free to access, day and night. Two things are charged: parking if you come by motor vehicle, and the abbey if you visit it.

Do you have to pay to visit Mont-Saint-Michel?

No for the village, yes for parking and the abbey. The official website says so: there is no gate and no ticket to enter the village. The village museums have their own ticket offices, and the toilets inside the walls run by the town hall cost €1. Those at the tourist information centre, near the car parks, are free.
