Victor Hugo House

Victor Hugo House is a dedicated museum on the second floor of the Hôtel de Rohan-Guéméné, on the Place des Vosges, where the writer lived with his family between 1832 and 1848. The visit, arranged across seven chronological rooms, traces his youth, his time on the square, his exile in Guernsey and his final years, with original furniture, portraits, manuscripts and photographs. The first floor hosts temporary exhibitions and, on rotation, a selection from the six hundred drawings by the writer held by the museum. The heritage library, with eleven thousand volumes, is open to researchers by appointment. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm, and admission to the permanent collections is free, as in most City of Paris museums.
