Bulit in 1872, This is the house Jules Verne has been living for 18 years.
I think it looks too modern, Like the building of 21 century.

“At my wife’s wishes I settled in Amiens, a sober, civilized town whose society is cordial and cultured. We are close enough to Paris to see its reflection without the unbearable noise and the futile bustle.” Jules Verne said in a letter to his friend.

Jules Verne finally bulit this house for himself in Amiens, and lived in here from 1882 to 1900. Most part of his work were written here. This house is named as Jules Verne International Center now.

A tower, a great veranda, big windows and some astronomic apparatus on the roof, Jules Verne’ house looks very modern. But the most attractive part is exhibition inside, You can see many Jules Verne’ s original edition novels, early posts, sci-fi models, maps and other docunments there, you can even hear his voice and steps from his ajar room.

I wondered how he could image his magic voyages only with the help of the maps and newspapers, But he did so.

So he is the master Jules Verne.
