Château des Roches

En un regard

Le château en bref

Nestled in the Bièvre valley in the hamlet of Vauboyen, the Château des Roches is inseparable from Victor Hugo: it was in this romantic setting, at the home of his friend Bertin l'Aîné, that the poet came to write and to walk. The building combines an 18th-century wing and a 19th-century wing, set in a 10-hectare park graced by a lake. It became a museum in 1989 under the name "Maison littéraire de Victor Hugo" and holds manuscripts, photographs and documents tracing the poet's life.
