Discover who was imprisoned there and enjoy an incredible view of the Vieux Port! François 1er used Château d’If to protect the Marseille coastline from invasions. Protestants and Republicans, as well as anyone who opposed public authority, were imprisoned at Château d’If from 1580 to 1871. The most famous prisoner was undoubtedly Edmond Dantès, the character in Dumas's novel The Count of Monte Cristo. Unlike him, your stay at Château d’If won't involve 14 years of unjust imprisonment. You'll have a unique, fascinating, and picturesque day. BlackFriday2026
