Paris Musées - Maisons Victor Hugo Review

The house of Victor Hugo is free of charge to be entered while there are some exhibition in the same building with 8 entrance. So don't miss it which costs you nothing.
If you wanna know more about the life style of one of the most famous contemporary writers, I strongly recommend you to visit this house.

Entering a house where one of the greatest novelist and poets lived and wrote his masterpieces takes you back to another era and the time when a world was so different and still fascinating to this day. His home, now a museum is an homage to this magnificent writer. To see his personal treasures, furniture, photos, artwork, a feather pan and ink stand he used to write with is incredibly amazing. To see his dead bed is absolutely surreal. I couldn t believe l was in the room where this great writer and artist lived and died.
After l watched Les Miserables in Toronto l am thrilled l had the opportunity to see the ambiance where this great man wrote his fantastic books in Paris. Museum is like a movie scene from different times but still very much beautiful and fascinating thanks to Victor Hugo and his masterful writings and artwork. Great novelist, poet, artist, dramatist, truly one of a kind! Victor Hugo and his books are timeless.

We got a private tour guide to tell us the history of Victor Hugo. It was so captivating.

Beautiful house museum on the Place des Vosges. As it is a City of Paris museum, it's free to enter. We didn't realise how talented a person Victor Hugo was . Don't miss the beautiful Rodin statue, unusually not a bronze.

Just think about that he actually had lived in this place makes me giddy with joy. Such a great author, such a marvelous artist. I loved the whole setting.

An interesting place to visit at Place des Vosges is Mansion de Victor Hugo in the corner of the square. This was Victor Hugo's apartment from 1832 to 1848. Today the property has been setup as a museum and interesting place to visit if you a fan of the French poet and novelist or have interest in viewing a typical residency at this fashionable location in the 19th century. Opening hours are 10am to 6pm (closed on Mondays).

Here you find seven rooms decorated with Hugo's furniture, artwork and other objects from his life which were originally from this residence as well as his property in Guernsey. The arrangement is such that you can learn about the life of Victor Hugo in a chronological manner.

Note: A visit to Mansion de Victor Hugo at Place des Vosges is free. However there is an audio guide service ( 5) as well as temporary exhibitions held here which you can also pay to view. See the website to learn what exhibitions are being held at the time of your intended visit.

A unique chance to visit home of one of the greatest French writer. Local students come here on field trips which is wonderful. Free entry.

Free entry!! It's more of a house tour than a museum.... Rich with paintings.... You get personal educators if you're a student.... Audio guides are available for five Euros... Cloak room also exists.... Takes about an hour with the audio guide
