Charles Vacquerie (12 April 1817, Nantes - 4 September 1843, Villequier) was the son-in-law of Victor Hugo and a notable figure in his circle.
Life
From a family of pilots and Seine fishermen, he was the eldest son of Charles-Isidore Vacquerie (1779–1843), a shipowner from Le Havre, and was expected to join the family business. Via his brother Auguste Vacquerie, he met Victor Hugo and married Hugo's daughter Léopoldine on 15 February 1843 at Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis. The couple drowned in a boating accident later that year at the Seine (the river that crosses Paris, the capital of France.)
