Description

The latest SEPAC issue celebrates old residential houses and Guernsey Post's contribution features not only an historic property, but a work-of-art, once home to one of the greatest French writers.

Victor Marie Hugo bought Hauteville House in St Peter Port in 1856 after being exiled from France for opposing Napoleon III in 1851 and moving to Guernsey in 1855 via Brussels and Jersey.

The poet, novelist and dramatist spent 14 years living and working here, writing some of his famous masterpieces and re-designing the space around him.
