Caisse d'Épargne Historique

#10 - The club life of Jules VerneDuring the 34 years I spent in Amiens, I took an active part in the life of the association. In 1872 I was admitted to the Academy of Amiens.
In 1895 I was appointed manager of the Savings Bank of Amiens, where I vouched for the deposits. When I go there, the Savings Bank building is at 19 rue de la République, also known as rue des Rabuissons. Between 1898 and 1904 I was a member of the board of directors and on May 2, 1898 I presented the report on the activities of the savings bank for the year 1897. In 1904 I resigned from this post because of my age and poor eyesight.
In 1889 I joined the Société Industrielle of Amiens, which had been founded in 1861 by weavers to promote regional industry and whose patrons included the engineer Edouard Gand, one of my best friends from Amiens. I like going to the richly stocked library of this association at 29 rue de Noyon.
I also joined the Horticultural Union and made two speeches at the general meetings in 1891 and 1894.Source: amiens.fr/Grands-projets/Aronnax/Etapes/etape-10/Caisse-d-epargne-allemand
