What social organization was the writer Jules Verne a member of?

"The Geographical Society was founded to promote the success of geography: it sends travelers to unknown lands; offers and assigns prizes; establishes correspondence with learned societies, travelers and geographers; publishes travels that have not yet been published and other works and maps related to geography. The French and foreigners can be members of the Society, and rightfully so! For all parts of the world should help in this matter," wrote about the French Geographical Society in his diaries Russian historian Alexander Turgenev.

Members of the French Geographical Society were Jules Verne, Anatole France, Prince Albert I of Monaco, and many other outstanding minds of that era, among whom there were many Russians.
