Paris

Paris is the center of Victor Hugo's classic 1862 novel Les Miserables. Although many of the events of the book are scattered around France, the pinnacle points of Les Mis, such as the June Rebellion, the suicide of Javert, and the death of Jean Valjean happen in Paris. Hugo is well known for his attention to detail, and he does not fail to excite readers with an accurate view of Paris during the post-revolution riots.
