    #06 - Jules Verne surrounded by his loved ones
    “Since the summer of 1871 I lived with my family at 23 Boulevard Guyencourt in Amiens and decided to buy a house there. In September 1873 I moved into this house at 44 Boulevard Longueville (today Boulevard Jules-Verne). I wrote here, among others, The Mysterious Island (1874-75), Michel Strogoff (1876), The Five Hundred Millions of the Begum (1879) and The Steam House (1880).
    In October 1882 I moved again and settled at 2 rue Charles-Dubois, in the house on the corner of Boulevard Longueville that is now the Maison de Jules Verne.
    Towards the end of the 19th century I found it increasingly difficult to find my way around my large house. So in October, 1900, I returned to my old home. There I placed my white wooden table in a room next to my bedroom. My intellectual activity continued and I wrote my last novels, including The Meteor Hunt (1901) and Masters of the World (1902).”
    Jules Verne died on March 24, 1905 in this house where he had lived for 14 years. He was buried in Madeleine Cemetery on March 28. More than 5,000 people attended his funeral and the family received hundreds of messages. The whole world mourned.
