well laid out with folder in English to explain each room. But the house had only one room left as it had been in his time. More about his books and his collaborator than his life - I felt.

Passed there by accident. Nice place. Lots of old books, the story of his life and walk around in his old house. A nice place to visit when it's raining.

One of those lovely authentic little museums that give you a really good feel for their subject- in this case the father of scince fiction, Jukes Verne. An amazing house and well worth a visit.

Usually I am not into houses – museums, but this one surprised me with the exhibition the great stories from the audio guide and the way all of them were linked. The visit gives you the chance to be introduced to some other famous French writers, publishers and people related to Jules Verne’s life. In case you are in Amiens... More
