Maison de Victor Hugo

You are standing before the Hotel de Rohan-Guemenee, a grand seventeenth-century mansion located at number six Place des Vosges. Behind these walls, the writer Victor Hugo occupied a second-floor apartment for sixteen years, beginning in 1832. This home served as the stage for his most productive period, where he hosted famous contemporaries like Alexandre Dumas and penned significant portions of his literary masterpieces. The building itself is a striking example of the symmetry and red-brick architecture that defines this historic square.
