Welcome to The Good Life France podcast.
In this episode we’re going to look at the life of one of France’s most famous writers – Victor Hugo. He was a genius writer, a most unusual man who lived an extraordinary life. His writing lives on, his books are still best sellers, his stories have inspired films, musicals and plays. One of his books saved the great Gothic Cathedral of Notre-Dame from being left to rot. And one of his hardly known characters inspired one of the most famous 20th century comic book legends – that’s no joke! Victor Hugo was a fascinating character with a lasting legacy – and he had some outright odd habits which we’ll find out about!
He is a writer every French school child learns about, a household name, an icon of French literature, a key figure in the culture of France many years after his death. And it has to be said, at times a bit eccentric!
