The North American Jules Verne Society – annual Conferance  – 2026,  3-7 June
in La Malbaie, Quebec, Canada
Days full of exiting experiences, of all kinds.
All centered around «L’Espace Jules Verne» – a most impressing collection/museum
located at «L’Île mystérieuse» – The Mysterious Island in La Malbaie village,at Saint Lawrence estuary.

AND:
You don’t get closer to this literary, imaginary Island than this
Because, ‘Collecteur Extraordinaire’,  Mr Jacquelin Bouchard, owns THE very hand drawing, made by Jules Verne himself – some 150 years ago.

Verne’s drawing of Lincoln Island the fictitious, non existing place, was dispalyed, exclusively,
for participating NAJVS members. (It is otherwise kept in vault – faximile only shown at exhibition).
A memorable moment – for me coming this far from the other side of the Ocean.
