Une recherche rapide sur internet montre que 90% des textes français en ligne de l'île mystérieuse reprennent "villa" au lieu de "ville". Donc une coquille s'est glissée dans une édition ancienne et qui a été reprise depuis par tous, jusqu'aux pdf de l'interface Jules Verne...
D'où l'intérêt de travaille sur des éditions originales.
Merci encore. Lionel.
