Vieux Port Marseille, France Ferry Ride Across
Visit: for photos/videos of San Francisco and more.
I was able to shoot a small video while taking the ride across the port in Marseille. It's a quick ride but it's very convenient to get from one side to the other. This is an interesting and informative and somewhat educational video. Watch it and plan a trip to Marseille France because I loved it when I was there!

Ferry trip to Château d'If from Vieux Port | Castle of If from Old port Marseille | Day 5 |
The Château d'If is a fortress (later a prison) located on the island of If, the smallest island in the Frioul archipelago situated in the Mediterranean Sea about a mile offshore in the Bay of Marseille in southeastern France. It is famous for being one of the settings of Alexandre Dumas' adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
The château is a square, three-story building 28 m (92 ft) long on each side, flanked by three towers with large gun embrasures. It was built in 1524-31 on the orders of King Francis I, who, during a visit in 1516, saw the island as a strategically important location for defending the coastline from sea-based attacks. However, its construction was extremely controversial. When Marseille was annexed to France in 1481, it retained the right to provide for its own defence. The castle was, therefore, seen by many of the local inhabitants as an unwanted imposition of central authority.
The castle's principal military value was as a deterrent; it never had to fight off an actual attack. The closest that it came to a genuine test of strength was in July 1531, when Holy Roman Emperor Charles V made preparations to attack Marseille. However, he abandoned the invasion plan.
This might have been fortunate, given the weaknesses identified by military engineer Vauban in a scathing report in 1701: The fortifications look like the rock, they are fully rendered, but very roughly and carelessly, with many imperfections. The whole having been very badly built and with little care... All the buildings, very crudely done, are ill made.
The embalmed body of general Jean Baptiste Kléber was repatriated to France after his assassination in Cairo in 1800. Napoleon, fearing that his tomb would become a symbol to Republicanism, ordered that the body stay at the château. It remained there for 18 years until Louis XVIII granted a Kléber proper burial in his native Strasbourg.
The isolated location and dangerous offshore currents of the Château d'If made it an ideal escape-proof prison, very much like the island of Alcatraz in California in more recent times. Its use as a dumping ground for political and religious detainees soon made it one of the most feared and notorious jails in France. Over 3,500 Huguenots (French Protestants) were sent to Château d'If, as was Gaston Crémieux, a leader of the Paris Commune, who was shot there in 1871.
The island became internationally famous in the 19th century when Alexandre Dumas used it as a setting for The Count of Monte Cristo, published to widespread acclaim in 1844. In the novel, the main character Edmond Dantès (a commoner who later purchases the noble title of Count) and his mentor, Abbé Faria, were both imprisoned in it. After fourteen years, Dantès makes a daring escape from the castle, becoming the first person ever to do so and survive. In reality, no one is known to have done this. The modern Château d'If maintains a roughly hewn dungeon in honour of Dantès as a tourist attraction.
As was common practice in those days, prisoners were treated differently according to their class and wealth. The poorest were placed at the bottom, being confined perhaps twenty or more to a cell in windowless dungeons under the castle. However, the wealthiest inmates were able to pay for their own private cells (or pistoles) higher up, with windows, a garderobe and a fireplace.
The château's use as a prison ceased at the end of the 19th century. It was demilitarized and opened to the public on September 23, 1890. It can now be reached by boat from Marseille's old port. Its fame comes from the setting for Dumas' novel, The Count of Monte Cristo. This fame has made the prison a popular tourist destination.
Mark Twain visited the château in July 1867 during a months-long pleasure excursion. He recounts his visit in his book, The Innocents Abroad. He says a guide took his party into the prison, which was not yet open to the public, and inside the cells, one of which he says housed the Iron Mask. This was prior to the château opening to the public. There is a sign at the château that says Prison dite de l'Homme au Masque de Fer (Said to be the prison of the Man in the Iron Mask), but this is likely only legend since the famed Man in the Iron Mask was never held at the Chateau d'If.
The Château d'If is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

SOUTH OF FRANCE, HIKING & FERRY RIDE ON THE CALANQUES MUSIC BY MYSTIGITY
South of France coastline between Marseille and Cassis; a 10-mile stretch that is home to the beautiful Calanques national park known by the French as Parc National des Calanques.
Hiking in the Calanques of south of France was absolutely amazing for me and then I took a ferry ride to explore the Calanques as well.
After writing my blog on the Calanques ( ) I've decided to add this vlog as well since I took so many pictures and videos along the way.
Hope you enjoyed it and dont forget to SUBSCRIBE and comment below to let me know what you think of the vlog and if you have visited the Calanques!
Storm damaged French ferry to be repaired, refloated
A French ferry was severely damaged and partially sank after breaking its moorings in the port of Marseille during stormy weather. The 172m-long Napoleon Bonaparte ripped a 30m hole in its side after crashing into another part of the dock. Two watertight compartments filled with water leaving the ship listing at an angle of around 15 to 18 degrees. There were no injuries reported as the ship was out of service for the winter. Company officials said an operation to refloat the ship hole will begin soon. It will involve welding the gash in the hull and then pumping out the water.
