Historic Restaurateur Jacques BLANC took the Clallenge of renovating the Hôtel Victor Hugo Paris Kleber, right in the Heart of the 16th Arrondissement of Paris. His aim was (during Two Years) to highlight this building of the 30s giving an exceptional View on a pool of aerial water unknown to Parisians. To achieve this ultimate goal, he called again Laurent MAUGOUST (famous Architect-Designer) and gave him Carte Blanche. Both imagined this Timeless Boutique-Hotel as an Extension of a House where would be invited Friends for a stay. The whole work was to bring back to date the Art de Vivre of the Time of the Famous writer Victor Hugo.

VICTOR HUGO was a French Poet, Novelist, and Dramatist of the Romantic Movement. He is considered to be one of the greatest and best-known French Writers. Outside France, his most famous Works are the Novels Les Misérables, 1862, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (French : Notre-Dame de Paris), 1831. In France, Victor Hugo is known primarily for his Poetry Collections, such as "Les Contemplations" (The Contemplations) and "La Légende des Siècles" (The Legend of the Ages). Hugo was at the forefront of the Romantic Literary Movement with his Play "Cromwell" and Drama "Hernani". Many of his Works have inspired Music, both during his Lifetime and after his Death, including the Musicals "Notre-Dame de Paris" and "Les Misérables". He produced more than 4,000 Drawings in his Lifetime, and campaigned for Social Causes such as the Abolition of Capital Punishment.

Though a committed Royalist when he was Young, Hugo's Views changed as the Decades passed, and he became a Passionate Supporter of Republicanism ; his Work touches upon most of the Political and Social Issues and the Artistic Trends of his time. He is buried in the Panthéon in Paris. His Legacy has been honoured in many ways, including his Portrait being placed on French Currency.

Hôtel Victor Hugo Paris Kleber is a 1930s Building inspired by Art Deco Lifestyle. What is Art Deco ?

But nowhere did Art Deco emerge more coherently than in France. The narrative of French Art Deco was firmly established by the time of the 1925 Paris Exposition, formed by the Designers, Museum Professionals, and Academics who had helped shape the style itself. While Designers elsewhere often rejected earlier Aesthetics, Materials and Techniques, French Designers sought Innovation by embracing History.

The Roots of French Art Deco are to be found in the Ancien Régime (the Political and Social System of France before the Revolution of 1789) and its time honoured Traditions of Apprenticeship and Guild Training. During the 18th Century, France established itself in the Forefront of the Luxury Trades, producing Furniture, Porcelain, Glass, Metalwork and Textiles of unsurpassed Refinement and Elegance. Paris became the Style Capital of the Western World...
