📍 From Notre-Dame de la Garde, France
Built in the early 16th century on a small rocky islet off the coast of Marseille, this formidable fortress once served as a state prison, hosting both real and legendary captives. Best known as the eerie setting in Alexandre Dumas’s “The Count of Monte Cristo,” it provides a fascinating glimpse into French history and literary lore. Visitors can wander through stone-walled cells, soak in sweeping views of the Mediterranean, and imagine the tales of intrigue once hidden within. Its thick walls and winding corridors stand as reminders of its storied past and the many secrets once confined here. A short ferry ride from the Vieux-Port brings you there, offering an unforgettable excursion.
