Mont-Saint-Michel, May tour tickets from Abbey

Anyone know when English tour admissions go on sale (from the Abbey)? I've had no luck in finding that info. They're available now through the end of April 2026 and then nothing after that, so guessing they just haven't been offered yet Is there a specific date/ time they open those?

Looking specifically for info regarding the last weekend in May, 2026 I've seen that the Abbey is closed on June 1, but trying to figure our why the general admission tickets are apparently sold out on May 30, 31, and June 2 when there are lots of times available just before and after that. I know there's a half marathon nearby on the 31st so maybe that sold it out or maybe they've just reduced access those days.

Hoping they'll have English tours go on sale for that weekend, but if not, guess we'll just check out the village

Regardless of the day, don't skip the Abbey just because you don't get an English tour. There are self-guided tours spoken of on the website. The Abbey is the raisin d'etre for the mont, not the shops and restaurants, which make up the largest part of what you will see there (besides the Abbey), aside from the views.
The website for the Abbey is abbaye-mont-saint-michel.fr/en.

P.S.
The village alone will disappoint as it is very touristy.
