BioLe Château d'If
"...The island became internationally famous in the 19th century when Alexander Dumas used it as a setting in his novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, published to huge acclaim in 1844. In the book, the eponymous "count" (actually the commoner Edmond Dantès) and his mentor, the Abbé Faria, were both imprisoned on If. After eight years, Dantès makes a daring escape from the castle, becoming the first person ever to do so and survive (in reality, none did). He sets himself up as the Count of Monte Cristo and takes revenge on those who had falsely had him sent to the island, driving them into bankruptcy and suicide."
