On the If Island , one of the Frioul Islands , this castle from the 16th century castle was turned into a jail, in which the Count of Monte-Cristo is kept prisoner according to Alexandre Dumas ' novel !

Take frioul if express from Vieux port . €16 ticket for the boat and €6 ticket for chateau entry (quite steep). Milking of money in the name of Cristo's legend and Dumas.

Absolute must on the marseille itinerary. The island from where count of monte Cristo (Edmond Dantes) escaped. The legendary character of Alexandre Dumas which made the island famous.

Lloyd D'rose

The view towards marseille, Notre dame La garde. Probably best thing I have done to relax.

Derek Wilson

An absolute must if you come to Marseille. Be the Count and try to escape...

It is what it is – a big, sandy prison . Can probably be fun If you have good imagination or are into Gerard Depardieu.

If you visit here, you can see the most beautiful view of Marseille

Go stand at the center of the highest lookout and talk. Just talk and listen to yourself talk back.

If you've read the book "The Count of Monte Cristo " then you must take a tour of the prison on this island !

Doesn't look impressive. Better take a boat to Calanque

Une Ile magnifique en face de Marseille. Visite très agréable et surtout avec une histoire formidable. Incontournable lors d’une visite de Marseille.

La prison d'Edmond Dantès ! Construit au 16è s., il fut une prison pendant 400 ans. Monument Historique depuis 1926, il est accessible en navette depuis le Vieux Port.

Lindo!!!! Vale muito a visita! Ótima vista de Marselha, lugar agradável para um café da tarde.

Hors saison, privilégiez les fins de matinées afin de profiter du beau temps et du peu de monde. De plus, sachez que le trajet est quasiment deux fois plus long au retour qu’à l ’aller. Read more

Le Château est malheureusement désespérément vide ! Il n'y a rien à voir , si ce n'est une très belle vue .

Marco Laneri

Prigione francese nel golfo di Marsiglia costruita con materiali provenienti, probabilmente, dall'occupazione spagnola, é celebre per Il Conte di Montecristo di Dumas (padre).

No puedes dejar de ir a visitarlo. Tomas el barco en el puerto viejo de Marsella.

Super pour la vue mais moins intéressant concernant le chateau .

Антон Садкин

Как говорится, место известно благодаря двум персонажам: придуманному монте-кристо и никогда тут не бывавшему "железнрй маске "
