Destinations that Inspired Agatha Christie’s Mysteries 

South of France 

The Mystery of the Blue Train featured the South of France. In her book, Agatha Christie sent her character, Detective Poirot, on Le Train Bleu in Paris. In the story, the train went down to the Riviera, passing towns like Menton and St. Tropez.  

Head down to Menton by rail on your own family vacation. Then let your imagination take you back to this mystery. You can even dine at a restaurant called Le Train Bleu before you depart the city of Paris.  

The Nile in Egypt 

One of Agatha Christie’s most popular mysteries was Death on the Nile. In this book, she used the Nile River as inspiration for Detective Poirot’s case involving a trio of deaths.  

You can head out on your own cruise of the Nile to see many of the ancient sites along the shoreline. However, if you are not a fan of water, you can always stay on land. Agatha Christie did as she was writing this mystery.  

Istanbul in Turkey 

The city of Istanbul is where Detective Poirot enjoys a little time before heading back to London on an exclusive train. Of course, his train ride is anything but normal with suspicious noises being heard from a nearby compartment. It isn’t surprising the train ends up stopping in Yugoslav while everything gets sorted out.  

Agatha Christie used her experience on the Orient Express to write this mystery novel.  

The Swiss Alps 

Agatha Christie’s The Labors of Hercules, The Arcadian Deer, and The Erymanthian Boar all took place in the Swiss Alps. The author used all the real-life destinations to create her own fictitious towns and cities. All those fictional destinations claim the same breathtaking panoramic views just like the real ones.
