  One of those amazing tiny museums set up in the original house of Jules Verne and filled with models, mementos and fabulous paintings of his adventure books.

  This includes his own writing desk, sea-creatures, models of submarines and flying machine, and the "from the earth to the moon" lander module, and walls covered in vividly painted adventure moments - men battling sea-creatures or exploring lost jungle temples.. and of course, Captain Nemo.

  On your way in, don't forget to stop to look at the full-size statue of Captain Nemo, taking a bearing on the house with his trusty sextant... and a little boy avidly watching from a bench behind him.
