This famous fortress, standing on a rocky island off the coast of Marseille, was immortalised by Alexandre Dumas in The Count of Monte Cristo as the prison where the novel’s hero, Edmond Dantes, was incarcerated before ultimately escaping. The castle was built by Francois I in 1524 and over the centuries it gained a fearsome reputation as many opponents of royal power were jailed and died in the fortress. The Castle of If has been perfectly preserved and is one of the most impressive historical sites on the Mediterranean coastline.

"Worth a visit, as there are so many boats in the port! there are a number of day trips living from here. The walking area is massive, and you can easily walk around, getting from one fort to the other (though that would could take around 30mins). Plenty of cafes and restaurants as well."
"Well worth the walk from the old port to the church. The best way we found was to walk up Rue Fort-Notre-Dame from the port and follow the signs. There are great views from the top, and the recently refurbished church is interesting inside."
"The Basilique is located about a km from the Vieux Port. However, it is a long and steep climb, as it is situated on a hill top. The church itself was beatiful, and the view is probably the best in Marseille. "
