If you are a fan of science fiction, you may find a phenomenon: many science fiction writers who are wide-minded and wandering in inner senses choose a quiet and remote town instead of a metropolis with advanced technology and the first access to all kinds of trend information.

For example, Liu Cixin, the author of Three-body, has lived in Yangquan, Shanxi for half a century. Arthur Clark, who wrote famous sci-fi works such as 21: Space Exploration, lived in Mainhead, Somerset, western England in his youth and settled in Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean in his later years. Jules verne, the originator of science fiction, a French science fiction novelist, when he was famous all over the world for his science fiction, he resolutely bid farewell to Paris, the flower capital he had struggled for a quarter of a century, and did not return to his birthplace of Nantes, but quietly lived in seclusion in a small town that was not noticed by the world-Amiens, the capital of Picardy region in northern France.

Verne once said, "What one person can imagine, another person can turn it into reality." He used his own imagination and creation to prove this sentence, and wrote such popular science fiction novels as Two Wan Li under the Sea, Five Weeks in a Balloon and around the world in 8 days.

people in later generations are surprised to find that Verne is like a time traveler who transcends time and space-all the new things that appeared in his works, such as submarines, neon lights, missiles and televisions, were later invented. His novel characters travel all over the world, from land to sea, from the air to the center of the earth, from the earth to the moon, and even space. Verne himself also "conquered" the whole world, "conquered" the space, and "conquered" millions of readers with the footsteps of his novel characters.

Amiens, a quiet and low-key town, provided Verne with a perfect creative environment.

by looking at the ceiling through the rotating stairs. Soon after he came to Amiens in p>1874, he bought a house, which is located at No.44 Linyin Road, Longueville. It is a three-story building with a cylindrical tower. In 1882, he moved to a more spacious and luxurious detached house in Charles Dubois Street, about 2 meters away from No.44 Longueville Street. Most of Verne's later works were completed here, and many visitors called on him here.

Every afternoon, jules verne picks up his hat, goes out for a walk, turns the intersection and steps into Paris Road, where there is a Paris Gate built in the Middle Ages; Then enter Hugo Street, in front of which is the 14th century Gothic architecture, the magnificent Amiens Church. Looking down, the somme river is like a silver broadband jumping and flashing in the sun. Not far below Amiens, the somme River joins the Avi River and the Seine River, forming a river network with countless tributaries, some of which are like the Loire River in Nantes when Verne was a child.

▲ In Amiens, the Somme River flows slowly, with medium-sized buildings decorated with simple colors. From time to time, wild ducks fly by, cyclists float by, or a breeze blows by? In a word, there is an innate quiet and unflappable temperament

Living in Amiens, Verne is quite comfortable: "It is not far from Paris, influenced by it, but there is no tormenting noise". In the second half of the 19th century, the population of Amiens was only 8,. Even now, there are only 15, people in the city.

Amiens is small and rich in resources, and any life and spiritual needs can be found here: if you want religious comfort, Amiens Notre Dame Cathedral can be used to visit; If you want to reap the edification of art, the Musée de Picardie, which treasures the works of Xia Erdan, greco and other artists, is enough to make you linger; If you just want to browse the scenery of Amiens and stroll around any corner of the city, you can appreciate the personality and excitement of the city.
