“It’s something that touches me, that penetrates me”, explains Jean*Michel Verne, journalist and writer, this Thursday when he discovers the Aronnax course, launched by the metropolis of Amiens. A walk in 16 stages to discover the life of Jules Verne in Amiens, his ancestor and famous French novelist.
“What interests me is to put myself in Jules’s footsteps, in his costume, to discover a Jules that I did not know, especially about his life in Amiens”says the great great grandson of Jules Verne. “Finding myself in the Jules Verne house was very moving”he said again. “There is something alive in this route, something playful and technological with the QR Codes and the various signs throughout the city”he finishes.
