The Jules Verne Museum in Nantes
Are you passing through Nantes for a few days? Why not visit the museum dedicated to Jules Verne.
The famous French author, whose hometown is Nantes, is known worldwide for his innovative stories and ideas that have left their mark on literary culture.
The man known as the father of science fiction has always been considered a visionary and has captivated generations of readers.
Discover this fascinating museum that pays tribute to him through a rich collection of objects, notes and manuscripts.
Installed on the Butte Sainte-Anne where the author often came, you will be able to enter his private life and discover objects from his daily life.
You will have the chance to see manuscripts, books, documents and excerpts from works and illustrations.
During your visit, you will be able to understand the writing process of the “Extraordinary Voyages” which gave rise to classics such as “Journey to the Center of the Earth”, “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” and “Around the World in Eighty Days”.
These tales of travel and adventure have been translated around the world and transcribed many times on screen.
Much more than an author, Jules Verne predicted countless technological advances such as submarines, airships and spacewalks.
His works are thus renowned for their scientific precision which has inspired many inventors.
Even today, his influence extends well beyond literature.
With his 82 novels, Jules Verne continues to amaze readers around the world.
