Description
ArrayYour Experience
Perched upon a rocky island on the Mediterranean sits the world-renowned island fort that is Chateau d’If. Right opposite Marseille’s Vieux Port, feel surrounded by a blanket of this city’s history. Immortalized as a landmark in the famous novel from the 19th century, The Count of Monte Cristo, you don’t want to skip out on this opportunity to tour the insides. Dedicated skip-the-line access grants you easy access to the landmark, guaranteeing less waiting time.
This fort was built in 1524 as a prison by François I. With time, it gained the terrifying reputation of being the dying grounds for those who resisted and opposed royal power. But the Château d’If was actually built for other noble reasons, the priority of which was given to the safety of Marsailles. Travel back in time and find yourself in the 16th century and relive scenes from the novel and movies in this iconic prison.
