Visitor Reviews

**★★★★★ Brandon-Dean Morris — 3 months ago

I’m 2pid. No one (including the ferry operator) told us it was closed when we asked but it does say so on their website. I should’ve checked. :( Cool island. Cool looking fort. Sure it’s even more awesome inside.

This is a large, quiet and secluded compound and, along with the island, there are plenty of spaces to discover and explore. The fort is where the man in the iron mask was imprisoned. If you are visiting l’île Sainte-Marguerite, it is worth coming here as well.

**★★★★★ Alex Smirnov — 6 months ago

Amazing spot when you want to clear up your mind and stay away from busy towns. Only around 20 minutes from Cannes by ferry and very well priced as well. So beautiful nature on the island will amazed anyone! This is must see spot if you are staying in Cannes.

**★★★★★ Richard Adlem (Rich) — 7 months ago

Well worth paying for the museum entry with the visit to the fort, the fort itself is free to wander around but it's the museum you have to pay a small amount for, it's in the museum that you get to visit the cells and the place where the man in the iron mask was held. All information was in both French and English which is fairly rare with French attractions we have found.

**★★★★☆ Laila Bonnevie — 5 months ago

There was a lot of closure.

The cell with the Man in the Iron Mask was exciting and the cell with the story of the Hougenotts/the Reformed was very interesting.

The small chapel was closed off with glass.

Raise the ticket price and do something more for the place🙏
