Literary Salon
On the 29 Avril 1874, Victor Hugo moved into the fourth floor of this austere building without balconies. With him were his mistress, Juliette Drouet, his daughter-in-law, Alice and his grandchildren, Georges and Jeanne. The writer held lots of receptions here, inviting the glittering figures of the day – including the Goncourt brothers, Louis Blanc, Flaubert, Gambetta, Clémenceau. It was here that Hugo penned his last novel, « Ninety-three », dedicated to the French Revolution and the Convention.
