What to Expect

If you are in Marseille and want to discover the famous Frioul archipelago and the Château d'If, you're in the right place! Begin your adventure at Marseille's Old Port, where you'll board a comfortable RIB boat, perfect for navigating the Mediterranean waters. As you leave the port, you will be greeted by the majestic view of the Bonne Mère watching over the city. Enjoy a scenic ride along the coast, where you'll first see the traditional port of Vallon des Auffes, a picturesque spot known for its charming fishing boats and unique atmosphere.

Continuing the journey, the boat will take you past the Degaby Island and offer a breathtaking view of the Château d'If, made famous by Alexandre Dumas' novel, "The Count of Monte Cristo". The tour then heads towards the stunning Frioul Islands, where you'll have 1 hour of free time. Use this time to explore the small village, enjoy a drink at one of the local bars, or take a refreshing swim in a secluded cove with crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling masks are provided for those who wish to explore the underwater world. Finally, return to Marseille.
