Hauteville House

In March 1927, the centenary year of Romanticism, Hugo's descendants Jeanne, Jean, Marguerite and François donated the house to the City of Paris.

It gained the reputation of being haunted by the spirit of a woman who had committed suicide, and remained unoccupied for several years.

Hugo and his wife Adèle Foucher transformed, furnished and decorated the house during his exile from 1856 to 1870, and during a return visit in the summer of 1878.

The house consists of four levels, with the top floor featuring a glazed lookout with a view of Saint Peter Port, Herm and Sark, and the islands near them.

The garden is filled with trees and flowers that grow abundantly due to the mild climate.
