Hugo cherished his time in Guernsey and the Island provided much inspiration for his fine works.

The acclaimed French author and poet spent 15 years on the Island while in exile from France. Declaring Guernsey “the rock of hospitality and freedom” in his dedication of Les Travailleurs de la Mer, many consider his time in the Bailiwick to be his most productive writing period.
