    A quick and lovely tour of Jules Verne's house. Makes you understand better his works.

    Today I visited this magical place, I have also visited other memorial houses, but none like this one, maybe because Jules Verne was not like any other. From the moment you enter, you feel the presence of Jules Verne there with you, it's as if time stood still and you don't know what to look at first, as if you want to hear a story, but why hear it when you can live it?

    Very beautiful and well-organized museum. It has authentic pieces that belonged to Jules Verne. The information is also available in English and the museum is wheelchair accessible. The staff is also super friendly. Theres free entry for residents of the EU under 25 years old.

    A surprising find for fans of Jules Verne. The house is preserved and takes you through Jules Verne's life and inspirations! A pity there are no English versions of his books for sale.

    Pretty much exactly what you would expect and worth its entry price. Loved seeing the various manuscripts and old books but especially loved the architecture of the house. It can get busy though.

    Came with my 7 year old. Very well done! Really interesting for us both, enough information for me and enough paraphernalia for the kid! Relaxed, stress free visit.

    We visited the Jules Verne House right at opening time and practically had the place to ourselves. From the ground floor all the way to the attic, each room is beautiful and unique! It truly felt like traveling back in time! I would recommend visiting even if you're not particularly into Jules Verne, the historic house is a treat to visit!

    It was the house he lived and wrote in Excellent displays of his works, models, submarines and the like. Over 3 floors, the attic was particularly good as the curators had really thought about how to apply his stories to the exhibits.Lovely , vivid artwork.Pity no books for sale in English , just French.

    A wonderful trip in Jules Vernes's world. Beautiful house, interesting things about his life and work.

    Jules Verne's house in Amiens is a captivating destination, offering a mix of authentic rooms and recreated spaces. Step back in time as you explore the writer's study where he penned iconic novels like "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea." The museum's interactive exhibits and knowledgeable staff make it a must-visit for literature enthusiasts and history lovers alike.

  • 5/5 Nayeem 8 months ago on Google • 50 reviews
    The author lived in this house as a tenant for 18 years, the longest during his last 34 years in Amiens. You’ll find two photographs of Jules Verne inside, taken in front of this house, and thus you will understand that the house is actually almost the same as it was at that time. It also has an office room and memories of his publisher Pierre-Jules, who published his first novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon. I enjoyed the giant map on the floor illustrating the route described in Around the World in Eighty Days, and the Nautilus control panel on the top.

    A must see for all those who read Jules Vernes books.

    Really beautiful, interesting little house museum. This has piqued my interest in Jules Verne and it was lovely to take a step back in time. Under 25s go free. You could probably complete the self guided tour within one hour, but longer if you're interested. The toilets are in the basement and were very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'd strongly recommend a visit here.

    Nice, informative, learned things I never knew about JV.

  • 4/5 Esra B. 1 year ago on Google
    Following the footsteps of Jules Verne in his house is so impressive! Definitely recommending to learn his inspirations for every novel and how much he worked for each as well. The house itself and the staff are great but I am surprised on the way to the house since there is no direction or any visual that we are coming close to this amazing writer’s house! You need to check the Google map to find your way. I think Jules Verne deserves more attention by the municipality for such arrangements.

    Very interesting and not overdone. A beautifully quiet spot. Wheelchair accessible via elevator.

  • 5/5 Joachim K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing: Jules Verne spent the times of his most prolific writing in Amiens. There are so many places to see that inspired him, including the house with tower, that is now a museum. You get to see period furniture and decor, as well as numerous editions of his works, as well as manuscripts and posters. Do not forget to visit the Cirque and Jules Verne's final resting place, as well.

    It was nice just seeing his house. We didn't go into it. I took some outside photos. So, check it out for yourself. Street parking was available.

    A must see in amiens is the jules verne House, a place where he lived and wrote some of his most famous works. The staff were helpful and spoke some English. There were info boards in English too in every room. Floor 3 is recreated to resemble the nautilus and one floor is currently laid out as his publishers office. There is a small shop and cafe on site too. His tomb (picture on here) can be found in a cemetery at the edge of the city. We'll worth a look

    Sehr sehr schönes Museum. Eine kleine Zeitreise zu einem großen Autor. Wir können das alles SciFi Fans und Fans der Epoche nur empfehlen.

    Wer Jules Verne kennt, sollte sich sein Wohnhaus mal ansehen. Wirklich nette Exponate und interessante Geschichten über ihn.

  • 3/5 Brendan H. 6 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Beautiful house, but largely empty of original furnishings. Mostly dedicated to his legendary literary accomplishments. Friendly staff who spoke English, and displays in English and French. It was OK, not a must see museum though.

  • 4/5 Leroy “Mathizsias” K. 1 year ago on Google
    We have a particular fondness for Jules Verne through Disneyland Paris' Space Mountain that ran from 1995 until 2005 and the still present Nautilus. Jules would've loved the original theming on them both, we have little doubt. We've read the corresponding novels and happened to be in the neighborhood of Amiens and couldn't resist paying a visit. Not for kids as it is more of an art like exhibition, nor is it very interactive. It did however instill in us a sense of how this man was both an intellectual and creative mind.
