But who was Léopoldine?

She is the muse of her father Victor Hugo, one of the greatest and best-known French writers, who is constantly by her side and only accepts her marriage under duress, after three years. Thereafter, Victor Hugo will behave as if his daughter no longer existed, causing her intense pain.


It is a welcoming haven, a snug and comfortable nest to switch off and get away from it all in Normandy. Whether it’s for a romantic weekend of cocooning by the sea, for bright strolls along the white chalk cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre, for a cultural vacation in Seine Maritime, or a gastronomic experience with a taste of the sea, La Villa Augustine is the ideal setting to enjoy the authenticity of the Normandy coast.

Villa Augustine in Dieppe, designed along the lines of a boutique hotel, boasts a unique location in Normandy. It recalls the unmistakable charm of a guesthouse and features all the necessary amenities of a fully equipped kitchen should you wish to prepare your own meals.
