I’m Hugo, founder of The French Book Club.

I studied literature, philosophy, and fine arts in Paris at Lycée Henri-IV, Sorbonne University, and the École des Beaux-Arts, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in French and Francophone Studies at UCLA.

For more than six years, I have taught French through literature—discovering that reading together creates a deeper, more personal relationship with language.

The French Book Club was born from that conviction: that literature is not a textbook, but a living space for thought, emotion, and exchange.
