Victor Hugo and his time in Vianden
We are of course talking about Victor Hugo, one of greatest and best-known French writers.
While I was looking for a topic for this week's knowledge bite I stumbled across this article from 2020 that lists Victor Hugo's stay in Vianden as one of their fun facts, but does not provide a lot of information. As I am living close to Vianden, and drink the occasional Hugo cocktail in a restaurant named after Victor Hugo, I thought I would take this upon me. I think you can sense a theme here.
But before we begin with a brief biography of Victor Hugo, I just wanted to emphasise that even though the coincidence of the cocktail name is quite funny, it has nothing to do with the famous writer.
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was a French poet and novelist who, after training as a lawyer, embarked on the literary career. He became one of the most important French Romantic poets, novelists and dramatists of his time, having assembled a massive body of work while living in Paris, Brussels, the Channel Islands and of course Vianden.
Outside of France he is mostly known for 'Les Misérables' and 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', which have seen tremendous successes, even more than a century after he died.
So how did Victor Hugo find his way to the small town
