Fort Royal on Ile Ste-Marguerite was also a state prison where "special" prisoners were held at the Kings request, often without ever standing trial. The most famous of these prisoners was the Man in the Iron Mask, whose identity is still unknown today.

The island and the fortress are beautiful and well worth the trip over from Cannes! Boat tickets are around 10 euros and entry into the fortress is free (though you'll have to pay to visit the cell of the Man in the Iron Mask).

Very beautiful place. Definitely worth to get there :) P.S. As far as I remember it is not allowed to smoke on the island.

ideal for short hideaway from the beauty and rich scene in Cannes. Just 25 min by boat to this dry island.
