Founded in 2000, the Société des Amis de Victor Hugo aims to disseminate the work and thought of Victor Hugo. Since 2001 it has published L'Écho Hugo annually, featuring original articles, contemporary writers' perspectives on Hugo, book and performance reviews, reports, and documents. Members receive the printed publication free of charge and a weekly email newsletter on Hugo-related news. The association initiated the Festival international Victor Hugo et Égaux, whose title comes from a phrase in Hugo's William Shakespeare: "L'art suprême est la région des égaux." The 2026 festival is dedicated to Victor Hugo and Albert Camus, with numerous events from April to June in the Île-de-France region.
