Well preserved traditional house of Jules Verne. I'm not a massive fan of the author however I did enjoy the tour of the house. Worth a visit.
We enjoyed thus splendid house,even though we had not read his books. We felt that some of the exhibits were not directly relevant - there was an awful lot about the publisher, but it was all very interesting, and well presented. We were both inspired to read some Jules Verne afterwards. It would be good if the shop sold some English copies of the books - they are missing a trick there!
In order to pay a tribute to JULES VERNE,worths to go there,there a lot of version of his books,posters for the movies made from the books,evene a copy of NAUTILIUS.
Brilliant. The staff were most helpfull and my wife was able to use a lift to reach all floors.The layout was interesting and the exhibits were very good.Definitely worth a visit.
Not knowing a lot about Jules Verne I found this museum extremely interesting and very informative. We did the audio-tour which took about an hour. The staff were helpful and could speak English. If you are open to new experiences then I highly recommend this attraction. Easy walking distance from the Cathedral.
We visited Jules Verne's house for something to do on a rainy day but was pleasantly surprised. We found out a lot about the man himself that we never knew and there are many interesting objects in his house. Our only disappointment was the banning of photography in the house. There are quite a few large models of the machines featured in his books and I would have like to take a few photographs. The house is certainly worth a visit.
This very personal and cosy house is full of interest . There are lots of Jules Vernes' own things and also those of his editor . The house is on several floors and each is dedicated to a different aspect of his life . Most of the information is in French and English . Bookshop and vending machines and seats for a drink
Visited the Jules Verne House while in Amiens. Very interesting! Disappointed that I could not take photographs inside and the post card selection in the gift area did not have many inside photographs either.Hard to believe the house was built in the late 1800's and that the books were also written in that era. Wished the gift shop had English versions of the books for sale.
We were educated a lot more about the capacity of Jules Vernes for writing and use of imagination. Friendly staff and our children loved the attic he wrote in
Although I considered the entrance fee a little bit to much, it is a very interesting detour to make at this home of Jules Verne. It takes you to a short time-travel to his time-period, to a house full with early 20th century style interior, to bits of Verne's fantasy world and everyday-life, to little relics for a Verne fan.
