The photo was revealed on Rachida Dati’s X account. Yesterday, Tuesday April 2, the Minister of Culture came to 5 bis rue de Verneuil in the 7th arrondissement of Paris for a very special occasion. The former mayor of this Parisian district met for the occasion Charlotte Gainsbourg and her son
Ben Attal in front of Serge Gainsbourg’s former home, open to the public since the start of the school year. “This place is an intimate heritage belonging to everyone.” declared the former Minister of Justice who decided to award this symbolic place the label “Houses of the Illustrious“which aims, since 2011, to recognize emblematic places preserving and sharing the memory of personalities who have marked French history. A way of “distinguish places of strong cultural interest throughout France“as the minister insisted, adding that she wanted to register”Serge Gainsbourg a little more in our French heritage“. A date which, obviously, was not chosen at random since it celebrated the 96th anniversary of the birth of the interpreter of “Javanese“.
An important moment at which his family obviously wanted to participate starting with the daughter of the singer at the origin of this immersive exhibition and his grandson Ben Attal, fruit of his love with the actor Yvan Attal and deputy director of the Gainsbourg house. Whilea commemorative plaque was unveiled for the occasionthe 52-year-old singer took the floor delivering a moving speech: “I imagine him smiling at his words. He deserves them. His honors meant a lot to him, it surprised me how much given his personality“. If the minister and Charlotte Gainsbourg appeared very complicit, mother and son also found each other again as on the first day after years of strained relations.

Charlotte Gainsbourg and Ben Attal: years of conflicts
Nearly 9 months after the death of Jane Birkin, the Gainsbourg family is more united than ever but, unfortunately, this was not always the case. During a magazine interview The world on March 8, the young 26-year-old actor returned to his tensions with his mother, particularly during his adolescence: “For years we were at war” he confided. A lot of time wasted but, today, tensions seem to have eased as the companion of the Parisian entrepreneur Jordane Crantelle explains: “And there, we see each other every day, it’s funny“before continuing,”she doesn’t even pick up when I call her anymore because she knows I’m going to talk to her about work“.
