Are you certain about the real location, such as there could be a location to inspire the story? Last time I was in Cannes was the first time I was made aware of an island just off the bay, complete with Monte Cristo era castle, which was quite formally (signs, paths around the castle, etc) presented as the inspiration for the story. And even if it's not true, the scenery and history were enough to inspire memories of reading it and seeing the different film versions.
