There are probably many other reasons to visit Guernsey but the most visited attraction on the island is Victor Hugo’s House at 38 Hauteville House, St Peter Port; open most days. It’s important to book your conducted tour in advance as not all tours are necessarily in English. Be amazed at the decor – a unique creation in silk, china, mirrors, tapestries and wood, that embellish all four floors of this amazing place where Victor Hugo wrote many of his masterpieces during his self-imposed exile from the France of Napoleon III. The house and garden are substantial and look out over Havelet Bay and can be found after only a short walk (uphill) from the town. Very worthy of its inclusion among my Little Gems. Also worthy of mention is the Guernsey Museum / Art Gallery located in Candie Gardens where, among the trees and flowers, is a statue of Victor Hugo.
