Joyeux Anniversaire, Victor Hugo


Today is the great Frenchman's birthday. Just a few days ago, in fact, I went to his old house in Paris, Hôtel de Rohan-Guéménée 6, place des Vosges. It was a wonderful exhibit (though all in French) about his writings, his career, and his life. The sculpture of Hugo (pictured above) was done by none other than the genius Auguste Rodin.
