The Literary House of Victor Hugo is located at the Château des Roches former property of Bertin the Elder, director of the Journal des Débats in the 19th century, where he hosted a literary salon where the most famous guest was Victor Hugo. He created an English park of 11 hectares bordering the Bièvre, a pond and his island give it a romantic charm. During his first long stay in July 1831, the poet wrote:
Here flowers that last little last for a long time,
Here the soul contemplates, listens, adores, aspires,
And take pity on the world, narrow and fol empire.”
Autumn Leaves, “Bièvre,” 8 July 1831.
