In Picardy, the bay of the Somme extends for 70 kilometres along the coast. In this estuary where the Somme River flows into the English Channel, sandy and cobble beaches form lunar landscapes. Jules Verne, who had just had his first success with “Five Weeks in a Balloon”, discovered them at the end of the 19th century.
The bay and its vastness will stimulate his imagination, exacerbate his desire for freedom and his love of the ocean.
