About Château des Roches
In the Bièvre valley at Bièvres, south of Paris, the Château des Roches is a charming country house forever linked to French Romantic literature, for it was here, as the home of the Bertin family, that the great writer Victor Hugo and other leading figures of the age came to stay and find inspiration. Today the house is the Maison Littéraire de Victor Hugo, a museum devoted to the poet and novelist, displaying manuscripts, drawings, editions and mementos of his life and work amid the peaceful setting he loved. The gardens and valley that charmed the Romantics still surround it. Atmospheric, literary and beautifully set in a green valley near Paris, the Château des Roches offers a delightful and intimate encounter with Victor Hugo and the world of French Romanticism, a rewarding stop for book lovers close to the capital.
