Maison Jules Verne History / Occupants
To start, this house, with the tower, is not the only house that Jules lived in in Amiens
here is a brief history to start:
Jules Verne lived at:
- 1871 (summer) – 23 Boulevard Guyencourt
- 1873 (September) – 44 Boulevard Longueville (now Boulevard Jules Verne)
- 1882 (October) – 2 rue Charles Dubois - Jules moved here, but retained ownership (?) of the above at 44.
From what I have read, Jules RENTED this house.
- 1866 (
- 1886 (March 9) - At 5 o'clock in the evening, Jules is shot , at this house, by his nephew, M Gaston Verne (26)
  - 1900 (October) – 44 Boulevard Longueville - wtith failing health, Jules moved back to 44
In 1905, Jules passed away, and here is where my research of the occupants of the house AFTER Jules, began!

SORRY ... I HAD to include this reference to Mme Dupetit
It is just too crazy to NOT include!
IF it is the Mme Dupetit who eventually lived in the Jules Verne House,
IT MUST be included!
