The station Victor Hugo opened on 13 December 1910. It is an underground station situated in the 16th arrondissement. It is served by the metro line 2. The station is named after the French romantic writer and politician Victor Hugo (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885). His works include 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and 'Les Misérables'.
The outside of the station is in the Art Nouveau style. The two lamps at either side ressemble large, slender flowers with red petals. They are holding a sign with the text 'Metropolitain' between them.
The surround of the entrance is made up of the original Guimard panels. Only a few stations still have those.
At the end of the entrance, at ground level, are three round lamps in green fixings. They provide light to the entrance and stairs.
Metal handrails have been added to both sides of the walls.
The walls are tiled in small rectangular ceramic tiles. The top row is turquoise.
The exit is through one of two metal exit doors with glass panels with the passengers pushing the marked area of the metal area separating the glass panels.
The stairs leading down from the entrance to the platforms are brightly lit.
The walls are tiled in white ceramic tiles with raised centres. The bottom row is made of flat turquoise tiles, the top border row is made of turquoise tiles with a raised pattern of four-petal flowers.
The wall avove the tiles and the curved ceiling are painted white.
The signage consists of a panel made up of 9 by 18 dark blue flat rectangular ceramic tiles. The name Vicor Hugo is spelled out in capital letters in white ceramic tiles. The panel is framed by white 3D ceramic tiles.
It is tradition for the RATP to take part in in the tradition of April Fools jokes.
