In 1802 in Besançon (bozansonSpecial works are packed into the 1885-year life story of Victor Hugo, who was born and died in Paris in 83, and of course, a life that is equally interesting and full of details.

Hugo's BesançonAs someone who saw his house in Paris by chance, Place des VosgesIt is also a great pleasure for me to have visited his house in . We all know very well Hugo, the author of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Misérables, lived in this house from 1832 to 1848, and it has been open to visitors as a museum since 1903.

To go to Victor Hugo's House Place des Vosges – Vosges Squareto Marsh, Bastille or Saint Paul It is possible to come by. The most beautiful route M1 metro You get off at the Saint Paul station of the line and before Sully Hotel As I described in the article, passing through the inner courtyard of this place Vosges SquareReaching . When you reach the lower left corner of the cloistered galleries, if you turn right and walk to the end of the long gallery, Victor Hugo's House will appear at the end of the road, in the right corner.

Entrance to Victor Hugo's House is free, but if you want to visit the periodic exhibitions you may have to pay an additional fee.. When you buy the ticket given to keep visitor statistics from the section on the right at the entrance and enter through the door opposite, you reach the stairs of the apartment. The stained glass of the window on the right and the flowers in the vase on the sill are wonderful... From here, you go up two floors; Since the staircase is winding, it feels like there are more floors, but it's not like that 😉

There is also a section with temporary exhibitions on the first floor. If there is an exhibition that interests you, you can buy a ticket from the main entrance and visit it; Of course, by paying an additional fee. For periodic exhibitions, prices and other current information, you can access the official web page introducing Maison de Victor Hugo's House from the link at the end of the article.

Victor Hugo's House is the second floor apartment. After entering from the entrance, it continues in the form of halls following each other. There is no corridor logic as we know it, this is a house arranged in the form of consecutive rooms. First you enter a big red hall. There are beautiful paintings and photographs on the walls... Likewise, in the next halls, paintings, ceramic objects, furniture of the period, especially Victor Hugo's writing desk, attract attention.

I have taken photos in front of this table with many of my friends who came to visit us in Paris. Even my book A Week in ParisBoth characters in the novel have dreams reflected in the mirror of this writing desk. That's why you see our images meet in that mirror?

I can say that this large hall, one of the most interesting halls of Victor Hugo's House and decorated in Chinese style, is the most interesting part of Victor Hugo's House. Here, the plates on the wall and the lamp on the ceiling are really interesting and of course the exquisite square that you see when you look out the window. Place des Vosges the view too.

As in every museum in Paris, the building itself deserves attention as much as the characteristics of the museum you visit and the importance of the works on display. While visiting this place, I, as always, enjoy taking in the rooms themselves as much as the works on display.

After the hall decorated in Chinese style, you turn to the left door; Here, the consecutive views of other rooms create a very nice depth. You first reach the dining room, then two small rooms, and finally Victor Hugo's bedroom. When I first visited Victor Hugo's House, I thought it was where the famous writer died, but later I researched and learned that Victor Hugo died on May 22, 1885, at his home on Avenue Victor Hugo in Paris. loves This bed is the bed where Victor Hugo died., because when this place was turned into a museum, his grandchildren donated Victor Hugo's bedroom belongings to the museum...

For those of you who studied in French schools and memorized the works of Victor Hugo, as well as many French books, this museum is a must-see place. I can guess that you would love to see this place before reading this article. Even if you haven't read Victor Hugo's works, at least Notre Dame'ın KamburuYou must have watched it. Of course, reading his book is a different pleasure; It is a good book, I recommend it to everyone.

If you think about it, Notre Dame CathedralIsn't it this novel that makes it famous, rather than its own architectural and historical value? That's why Victor Hugo's House is on the list of must-see places in Paris. And, as I said, not only because of the importance of the objects on display, but also because it is one of the most beautiful squares in Paris. Place des VosgesThis is an important place to visit just to have the chance to visit an apartment in the huge building complex that surrounds the city - free of charge.

The trip, which ends in Victor Hugo's bedroom, ends when we return to where we started by following the same route in reverse. When you go back downstairs, you may want to scribble something in the museum's scrapbook. At least I wrote in that notebook that I would do my best to make this place known and visited by more Turkish visitors... And to give you an idea, I took a short tour of Victor Hugo's House with my camera:

After your museum tour, you can sit and relax in the beautiful café in the garden or Vosges SquareYou can go up to the arcade and walk around the gallery, relax by looking at the works in the beautiful art galleries, if you wish, you can sit in the cafes and have a coffee to relax, or you can take a breather in the park in the middle of the square and enjoy the atmosphere you are in.
