The Beautiful Place des Vosges & Victor Hugo Museum In-App Audio Tour



Take this in-app audio tour to explore the square which is considered to be the most beautiful in Paris. It is also the oldest, laid out in 1612 by King Henry IV.

This was a project planned for wealthy aristocrats, who built 36 private mansions around the square. Built in the Renaissance-era Baroque style imported from Italy, with red brick and cream limestone, the buildings are all landmarked as historic monuments. They form a harmonious setting that makes this tour such a pleasant visit.

With this in-app audio tour, you will learn about the rich history of the Place des Vosges and its marvelous mansions. Enjoy a stroll around the square to admire the historic buildings, stop for tea or coffee along the way in one of the cafés. You can even do a little shopping in the numerous boutiques and art galleries beneath the arcades.

This self-guided audio tour also takes you to the home of Victor Hugo, the author of masterpieces such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Misérables. He lived here for 16 years and his home has been transformed into a lovely little museum, open to the public free of charge.

Note! This tour is not affiliated with the Maison de Victor Hugo but is provided by an independent creator.
