Maison de Victor Hugo

Sometimes I try to visit attractions off the beaten path. In Paris, on Easter weekend, I visited the Victor Hugo museum which is located in the house he lived in for 16 years from 1832 to 1848.

Hugo is one of the romantic movement’s most famous writers. He is best known for Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Hugo was a lifelong French political activist and two days before his death he penned his final written words “To love is to act.”
