Maison de Victor Hugo

Maison de Victor Hugo (French pronunciation: [mɛzɔ̃ də viktɔʁ yɡo], Victor Hugo's House) is a writer's house museum located where Victor Hugo lived for 16 years between 1832 and 1848.

The museum is in the Place des Vosges (3rd and 4th arrondissement of Paris) and dates from 1605 when a lot was granted to Isaac Arnauld in the south-east corner of the square.

Victor Hugo was 30 when he moved into the house in October 1832 with his wife Adèle.

The mansion was converted into a museum when a large donation was made by Paul Meurice to the city of Paris to buy the house.

The museum consists of an antechamber leading through the Chinese living room and medieval style dining room to Victor Hugo's bedroom where he died in 1885.
