Mers-les-Bains is a commune in norther France, in the Hauts-de-France region. It has only around 3,500 inhabitants. The place seems really lovely. No wonder quite a few writers, including Verne and Hugo, used to work there. We would also love to visit the place one day, if it was possible.
Jolanta, thank you for the card and your invitation!
