Victor Hugo<\/strong> is one of the most famous French authors who influenced a lot during his time, both on a cultural and social level. He was known as a man with a strong temperament and unwavering ideals. Hugo was also one of the few artists to have known success during their life, opposed to post-mortem, and the only<\/em> one that lived on a street bearing his name<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

He also moved a lot, often to escape troubles due to his disagreement with the French government<\/strong>. As a result, there are no less than 3 houses of his that you can visit, one of them in Belgium!<\/p>\n

The first one, Place des Vosges in Paris<\/em>, became a museum dedicated to the writer, created for the centenary of his death by his friend Paul Meurice<\/strong>. The museum contains many unique pieces such as Victor Hugo’s manuscripts and graphic works<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The second one, 38 rue Hauteville at Saint-Pierre-Port in Guernsey<\/em>, is the house acquired by Victor Hugo during his exile during the Second Empire. It had been decorated and furnished by the author himself<\/strong>. It belongs now to the city of Paris and has also been turned into a museum.<\/p>\n

The last one, Quai Victor Hugo at Villequier<\/em>, is an important place for Victor Hugo<\/strong>. Indeed, this was there that he lost his daughter, Leopoldine. Her death touched him deeply and inspired numerous writings such as “The Contemplations”. The house is now a museum too, which was formed thanks to the donations from Hugo’s descendants. The cemetery when his daughter and wife are buried<\/strong> can also be visited.<\/p>\n

3 Houses to explore <\/strong>which reflect 3 periods<\/strong> of Hugo’s life. Enjoy your visits!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
