It's free to wander around the island and the outside buildings, there is a charge to go inside 'tho ....To help me to placate my sister can someone please tell me the entrance fee for the Mont, after trawling around various sites I am unable to find the cost.
It is the cost to enter the Mont I require, not the price of the Aire, many thanks.

If you're talking about the 'mudflats' parking ... nope, not since they decided to re-flood it.We stayed on the huge aire a couple of times is it still there since they built the new bridge?
I am sad to hear that. We saw the construction on Tour de France 2 or 3 years ago and thought it was going to be ugly then, I always like the idea of it being surrounded by water at high tide as in holy island Northumberland, the French love their statement bridges but perhaps should have left the old one.That new bridge is awful, yes lots of greenwash BS about it, but basically it looks like a motorway flyover so they can bus in tourists 24/7. A complete destruction of the place.

I've found the costs for parking here:

I'm so glad that I'd been a few times before they brought in these extortionate prices!
Yes sadly this flyover is so out of context with the the island, the surroundings and the history of the place. I am glad I saw it years ago when the old road was in place and saw the flyover being built when I went last.I am sad to hear that.

Can you cycle in?For info if you decide the walkis too long and want to use the bus , there are some excellent kennels availaible , inside/outside space , so shade in summer with water etc , much better than leaving in the van in summer .
Normal pace about a 45 min walk from van parking to the mount .
enjoy , some nice resturants there.

The cars and MH'S were all removable, this fugly bridge is not. Having been up close and personal with it I can tell you its a carbunkle. But a money making one!haven't seen the new flyover in the flesh.. but surely the old car and motorhome park was a bigger eyesore and 'out of context'
as it was in 2006 .. and where 'George' was parked..

That does seem odd that a country who is so into cycling doesn't have a cycle track to one of its most famous/ popular monuments! Perhaps no space for a bike rack or they want us to catch the bus in or walk !Sorry, cannot remember seeing any bikes last summer on the walkway , need to google and check, certainly did not see any place to park bikes when you got to the end . If I find the brochure will let you know.
Thank you! I wouldn't want to cycle on that connecting road as it was very busy when we last visited! May go again if the aire is still there all be it having moved further inland .As Larby says, there is a big bike rack area just by the barrage where the cycle path ends. You get the shuttle on the main road.
Some cyclists ignore the signs but we saw the shuttle drivers advising them of their error....
Looks like the photos were taken before any cars were allowed on! Car park must be a long way inland now! Thanks for info!Not sure if you are allowed officially to cycle up to the mont or not ... this webpage certainly has images showing people cycling along the 'jetty bridge' to it.
