His works reflect political and social incidents and the creative fashion of his time. His legacy and works have been honoured in many ways like his portrait being placed on French currency. His final resting place is Panthéon, Paris. His most renowned works are the novels Les Misérables (1862) and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831). In France, Hugo is famous mainly for his poetry collections, such as Les Contemplations (The Contemplations) and La Légende des siècles (The Legend of the Ages). Many of his works have inspired musicals, especially Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris.
