happythoughts Posted May 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2016 has anyone taken the ferries to see them? any tips? how far is the walk to saint esteve from where the ferry lets you off on frioul island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted May 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yes, we have taken the ferry over to Chateau d'If. The boats leave from a pier that is close to where cruise line shuttles drop passengers (who take the shuttle into town). On the island you have to make your own decision about how much walking (and how many steps) you want to handle. That being said, this would not be a good activity for anyone with severe mobility difficulties as there are a fair number of steps (and some uneven spots) in the castle and around the island.

Morgans Posted May 20, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The Chateau is well worth a visit and is great fun. I don't recall it being very far from the jetty at all however there are steps. The crossing over doesn't take long - recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
