Literature
MAISON DE VICTOR HUGO 1
Following the 1831 publication of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the novelist and poet Victor Hugo lived in this house on one of Paris’s prettiest squares. It’s now a small museum with an impressive collection of his personal drawings and portraits (maisonsvictorhugo.paris.fr; 6 Place des Vosges; reopens 30 Apr; 10am–6pm Tue–Sun; free).
LATIN QUARTER 2
The Latin Quarter is steeped in literary history. James Joyce finished editing Ulysses in a flat down the passageway at 71 Rue du Cardinal Lemoine. Ernest Hemingway lived a few doors along at number 74: the club downstairs was the inspiration for the one where Jake Barnes meets Brett Asley in The Sun Also Rises. George Orwell boarded above 6 Rue du Pot de Fer, while working as a dishwasher.
