Jules Verne really used to live in this house in Amiens and entering it is like walking into a scene in one of his books.
It's a brilliant house with beautifully decorated rooms. It has the same atmosphere of old and futuristic as in Jules Verne's stories. I especially loved the cast-iron spiral staircase between the floors.
All the information was in English and French. Inside the rooms were a lot of extremely cool book-covers, posters and miniatures (of boats etc.).
If it wasn't a museum we would certainly like to live here ;-)
Visit the site of the house here (English and French)
See picture in Normandie-album. The picture here is the "winter-garden", the first room you'll enter visiting the museum.
oh, i didnt even know he lived in Amiens ;) i was an avid reader of his books from the municipal library when i was a kid :) he has an incredibly extensive vocabulary ! and if you like Delvaux, some of his characters are lifted from original illustrations of Jules Verne books.
