From September 20, 2023, fans of Serge Gainsbourg will have the opportunity to learn more about their idol. Indeed, after several years of work, his daughter Charlotte decided to open the doors of the star’s historic home. This home has remained unchanged, whether it be the places where the objects that furnish the house are stored or the cigarette butts not thrown away by Jane Birkin’s former companion.
“We are still thinking about the name, whether it is Maison Serge Gainsbourg or Hôtel Particulier, echoing his song. Everything has remained as is”clarified Charlotte Gainsbourg to theAFP in February 2021. At the time, Yvan Attal’s partner said that “the house still gives the impression of being inhabited.” “OHe looks like he just came through the door. In the first ten years, when I was most sure of the project, it was very complicated to bring to fruition. Later, I backed away because it was a bit of what was left of him, so I kept him like a treasure.”she also explained.

The statue that gave Charlotte Gainsbourg horrible nights
In this residence, fans will also have the opportunity to discover a frightening object, at least a statue which has always terrified Yvan Attal’s companion, as she revealed in an interview with M the magazine of the World last September 13. A gruesome sculpture of a skinned person has caused terrifying moments for the 52-year-old actress.
During the interview, she even revealed that with her sister Kate Barry, who died in 2013, they consciously avoided the room where this statue was located. “At night, with Kate, we preferred to urinate through the skylight of our bedroom rather than walk past that terrifying living room”, she confided. It remains to be seen whether visitors who go to 5bis rue de Verneuil will have the opportunity to discover it, or whether Charlotte Gainsbourgstill afraid of this object, decided to remove it.
