Jules Verne in Amiens (80) (continued)

The Boulevard Jules Verne about a kilometre south of the centre of Amiens was once called the Boulevard Longueville. At number 44 was Verne's other house, and as the plaque below states, this is where he died. It also says he lived here for fourteen years.

'JULES VERNE

VÉCUT 14 ANS

DANS CETTE MAISON

IL Y MOURUT

LE 24 MARS 1905'

Not far from Jules Verne's museum is this monument: a bust of Verne with children at the base reading his Voyages extraordinaires. It was sculpted in 1908 by Albert Roze a year after he enhanced Verne's tomb so extravagantly.

A number of Verne's works are engraved on the other side of the statue, plus a globe.
