This September 20, 2023, she will be among the guests of choice at the dinner in Versailles organized for King Charles III by the three-starred Yannick Alléno and Anne-Sophie Pic, the famous pastry chef Pierre Hermé, and the chef of the kitchens of the Palais de l ‘Élysée, Fabrice Desvisgnes. Charlotte Gainsbourg was this morning at the microphone of Léa Salamé, on France Inter, on the occasion of the opening of the Serge Gainsbourg museum, rue de Verneuil, in Paris, which opens its doors this very Wednesday in his father’s former private mansion. The opportunity also for the actress and singer to confide in the recent disappearance of her mother, Jane Birkin.
“We are a little paralyzed“
On July 16, 2023, the iconic Jane died at the age of 76. And Charlotte Gainsbourg is grieving very difficult today. Also, she says: “I experienced the death of my father, it devastated me, but the death of a mother is in our body, there is something of collapsing spine and I no longer have any bearings“. And added: “Coming to talk about this opening of the museum is as if I were talking about the death of my father, the death of my mother, and I am opening the doors. I reveal things, it’s very strange”…
Courageous, Charlotte Gainsbourg takes responsibility for her mother’s legacy. She confides: “there is also the aftermath with my mother, precisely the walls of her house… What do I do with her objects? With Lou (Douillon, Jane’s last daughter, editor’s note), and Roman, Kate’s son (Barry, Jane’s first daughter, editor’s note) we are a little paralyzed“.
She will be at the dinner at Versailles
While waiting to answer all her questions, Charlotte Gainsbourg decided to treat herself this September 20. Tonight, she will be in a long dress at the king’s dinner. And she playfully enjoys missing the inauguration of the Serge Gainsbourg museum: “Today, I said to myself: it’s my father and my mother who are fighting. Will I go to his museum opening or see the King of England? I chose the King of England!” Jane Birkin must be smiling from where she is.
