Description
Step inside the island fortress that inspired The Count of Monte Cristo. Once you arrive on the island by boat, use your ticket to walk through the fortress at your own pace.
Wander the courtyard, climb to the ramparts for sweeping views over Marseille and the sea, and step into the cells where real prisoners were once held.
This ticket is valid all day, so you're free to time your visit around the boat schedule that suits you best.
Rising from a rocky island in the Bay of Marseille, Château d'If has guarded the coast and held prisoners for centuries — and inspired Alexandre Dumas' famous novel.
