The official MFA page states stays exceeding 30 days require a permit from the Gendarmerie - Foreigners' Office; the Schengen 90/180-day rule is referenced by the UK government and travel sources as the effective outer limit for tourists. Visitors from non-Schengen states must obtain Schengen authorisation before departure.
