Jules Verne lived in this house from 1882 to 1900. "At my wife’s wishes I settled in Amiens, a sober, civilized town whose society is cordial and cultured. We are close enough to Paris to see its reflection without the unbearable noise and the futile bustle.
In fact my Saint-Michel remains moored to Crotoy."
A letter from Jules Verne to his friend Charles Wallut
