The Maison Gainsbourg experience allows you to unveil the personal world of the world-known french singer. Take a glimpse into the Gainsbourg’s everyday life and discover every detail of his carefully preserved home: piano, artwork, treasured objects and more. For decades, Maison Gainsbourg remained a private and mysterious space, closed to the public. Now, this exclusive tour grants you the privilege of stepping inside and experiencing the home as if time had stood still.
Both a place of inspiration and a place of work, having welcomed illustrious guests and hosted a family life within its walls, “5 bis rue de Verneuil” is a character in its own right in the story of Serge Gainsbourg.
A place of great importance both in his personal life and in the development of his work, the “5 bis” and the objects it contains were kept intact by Charlotte Gainsbourg after her father’s passing over 32 years ago.
Serge Gainsbourg’s house can be visited thanks to an original soundtrack created by Soundwalk Collective in collaboration with Charlotte Gainsbourg. Composed from a collection of unpublished sound archives, this piece superimposes history, archives and sounds collected within the building.
A thirty minutes immersion with geo-located headphones during which the public wanders guided by the voice of Charlotte Gainsbourg, who, step by step, retraces the memories and anecdotes linked to her father and her childhood house.
