Jules Verne’s Amiens

Around France in 80 Days — Day 7. We leave Beauvais and arrive in Amiens, a historic city in northern France. While Amiens is famous for its Gothic cathedral, canals, and colorful Saint-Leu quarter, today’s journey is deeply personal. For me, Amiens is first and foremost the city of Jules Verne. I grew up reading his books, inspired by his imagination, adventures, and sense of wonder. His stories not only shaped my love of travel but also inspired my own writing.
Today, I walked the streets he once walked and visited Jules Verne’s House, where his remarkable stories were written. The house itself feels like a gateway to adventure, with every room echoing the worlds he created. Even the rain couldn’t spoil this special day.
As a mystery writer, I travel in search of places that could become settings for my next murder mystery. Join me on this journey across France and beyond — and help me choose.
Please share your thoughts in the comments and tell me which location from this series should inspire my next book.
We will explore more of Amiens in the next episode.
