Turin

Turin appears as a measured transit point in Phileas Fogg’s itinerary: he reaches it by way of Mont Cenis on Friday, October 4, at 6:35 a.m., then leaves at 7:20 a.m. as the journey continues toward Brindisi.

Place in the Route

Turin lies between Paris and Brindisi in the recorded sequence of the journey. Phileas Fogg leaves Paris on Thursday morning, reaches Turin early the next day, and departs for the onward leg; on Saturday afternoon he arrives at Brindisi and boards the Mongolia an hour later.

Narrative Significance

The brief Turin entry gives the larger journey a precise timetable rather than a descriptive stop. Its arrival and departure times make the city a point of passage, marking the onward movement of Phileas Fogg’s journey without presenting Turin as a destination or setting for a developed episode.
