Description:
The novelist Jules Verne (Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days) was born in Nantes in 1828. This museum is filled with memorabilia and objects inspired by his writings, from ink spots to a "magic" lantern with glass slides.
Fans also seek out Verne's house at 4 rue de Clisson in the Ile-Feydeau, which is privately owned and not open to the public. That neighborhood is a historic, mostly 18th-century area in the heart of the town. It was named after an island (l'Ile Feydeau) that became part of "mainland" Nantes after the river was diverted into a series of canals during the 18th century.
