Jules Verne House

After extensive renovations, the "House with the Tower" in Amiens has reopened its doors, inviting visitors to explore the enchanting blend of the imaginary worlds and everyday life of the legendary Jules Verne. This luxurious 19th-century mansion was not just Verne's home from 1882 to 1900; it was the birthplace of many of his "Extraordinary Voyages."

The mansion is a striking mix of grandeur and simplicity, spread across four levels and showcasing over 700 items from the Amiens Metropole collection. Each room offers a glimpse into Verne's personality, his sources of inspiration, and cherished memories. As you wander from the conservatory to the attic, you can almost feel the presence of his iconic characters: Michel Strogoff, Phileas Fogg, Captain Nemo, and others.

A visit here isn't just a tour; it's a journey through time. You can almost hear the clacking of typewriters and the rustle of paper as Verne's vivid imagination brought his stories to life. The house also hosts various exhibitions and events throughout the year, making it a dynamic destination for literature enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. Whether you're a die-hard Verne fan or simply someone with a love for history and storytelling, this mansion offers a unique peek into the world of one of the greatest writers of all time.
