Que pense Pauline de Victor Hugo décorateur? (Victor Hugo's Interior Design)

Une maison décorée au XIXe siècle peut-elle plaire à une Parisienne du XXIe siècle?
C’est ce que nous allons découvrir aujourd’hui dans cette conversation avec Pauline.
Nous nous sommes enregistrées après notre visite de l’exposition « Hugo décorateur » à la Maison de Victor Hugo, place des Vosges, dans le centre historique de Paris.
Pauline va nous dire si le style de l'écrivain, en tant que décorateur, lui a plu.
Dans la lettre qui accompagne cet épisode, nous nous arrêterons sur l’histoire de l’exil de Victor Hugo et pourquoi c’est particulièrement sa maison de Guernsey qui est montrée lors de l’exposition. Ce sera un excellent moyen d’avoir quelques repères historiques sur l’histoire de la France au XIXe siècle et celle du grand écrivain. Ainsi, nous cultiverons notre curiosité.
