Museum set in Victor Hugo's former residence. Over a couple of floors the museum tells the story of the author's life through his furnishings and art. I was the most surprised by the drawings, paintings, and woodworks that Hugo made himself. He was a momentous artist in so many respects. The museum sits at the corner of a picturesque square and looks out on the country he helped document and mould...

Victor Hugo’s house was truly special for me. Seeing where one of my favorite writers lived, standing in his room, and feeling the atmosphere of that place was a very moving experience. The interior is absolutely beautiful.

If you are a fan of the authorised Victor Hugo, who wrote Les Miserables and others, then this is a must visit. It is totally free without needing to do anything in advance and you can just show up. Even if not a fan of the author but near the Place des Voges area, then come for a free entry into a historic house. You can do it express in half an hour if you wish.
