Victor Hugo is a station of the Paris Métro, serving Line 2. It is named for the author Victor Hugo.
When first opened in 1900 as part of line 2 Nord, the platforms were built on the tight bend between Avenue Victor Hugo and Avenue Bugeaud. However, when new rolling stock was introduced in 1931, the curve of the track was too tight for people to board and alight safely on these new trains. So, the station was rebuilt closer to Charles de Gaulle - Étoile (at the time named Étoile) on the straight stretch of track immediately after the curve.
